Hi All,

I am using the apache-tomcat-5.5.23 for the development and whenever i should down my server and restart i get this exception.

  
 
type Exception report
 
message 
 
description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request.
 
exception

note The full stack trace of the root cause is available in the Apache Tomcat/5.0.28 logs.
 
 

If i follow start-shutdown-start than this problem is solved.

Means i need to start the server twice before i can use it.

Also i am using the catalina jpda start but i dont think this makes any difference because if do the normal startup problem persists.

This doesn't look like a Tomcat specific problem to me.
Where is the com.xxx.yyy.adm.gen.UserEmployeeGen class file located?

Are you using this class in a context listener or in the init method of a servlet that has been configured to load on startup?

Hi,

The class file in the webapps in the folder gen (package structure is their).

Actually this is some what equalent to DAO class and called from the struts servlet to verify the user.

And if it's not the tomcat specific problem how it gets rectified when i start the server again without changing anything?
