Tomcat not reading context.xml on deployment

[Kerry Wilson]

Tomcat is not reading my context.xml file on deployment.

from logs:
SEVERE: Error deploying configuration descriptor app.xml
java.lang.NullPointerException

I have never had this problem before, anyone seen this one before?

Well I changed contextpath to same name as war file and it fixed it.
