Henri,
I found a bug at the last minute (while constructing the "m3" distribution
bundles) that Tomcat 4.0 croaks (with the error you quote below) if you place a
WAR file of the application into the webapps directory, *and* you mention this
application in a <Context> element in server.xml. This combination can easily
happen with the examples application.
The workaround for now is to leave the application unpacked in the distribution
-- that's what I had to do with m3, which is why the downloads were so much
bigger. The underlying bug will be fixed before the next milestone.
