Tomcat 5.5.7 starting problem

[Ragav Seth]

Hi all,

Iam using netbeans 4.1 IDE on Fedora 4 linux.I have problems starting the tomcat server(tomcat-5.5.7) which comes bundled with the IDE.

I developed a sample application in windows and successfully deployed it in tomcat 5.0. I used the same sample application in the Linux environment.

The tomcat 5.5.7 server throws the error trace given below.

I copied the same web.xml file which i used in tomcat 5.0 and its structure is as follows

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

I guess the web.xml is the problem.
