When have this web.xml file directory is "unavailable"

[Mike Parker]

Hi, I have been attempting to get the listener class attribute to work for days now, and in the process upgraded to tomcat 5.5. I have made a directory, with a jsp page in it for testing my the listener servlet. When I add a web.xml page, to the directory/WEB-INF , I get an error when I try to access the directory through my browser "the directory is not available." So, something in the web.xml page must be very troublesome to the tomcat process.

Here is the web.xml page: can anyone see where I am going wrong?

-Much thanks, Mike

Did you forget to add web.xml, because i don't see any

Most likely cause is a parsing error - that should show up in a log file.

Thanks, guys.

It was a parsing issue that I was able to fix after looking at my log ( thanks a million for suggesting what is obvious--I needed that.)

Apparently, having "encoding = ISO-8859-1" appended to my xml version tag did not sit well with tomcat 5.5.

I am in business now-- looks like even my listening class works !!

Much gracious, again.
