Thanks in Advance ,

Where are your web pages (jsp,html) for your application located? It's a good idea to have an index.jsp as your welcome page. You can specify your welcome page in the web.xml for your application.

Tomcat 1.6? I think not. What version are you really using?

Bear Bibeault : Sorry its Tomcat 6.0
