Hi all,

I've been having trouble tracking down a problem using
the org.apache.catalina.startup.Embedded class in
4.1.27. Whenever I try to start it I get the following
stack trace.

I've been having no trouble using Embedded under
4.0.6; but I'd like to move up to 4.1 to get the
latest fixes.   In any case, I went back to try the
main method of the Embedded class to see if that still
worked and I get the same trace when running it under
4.1.27 (Embedded.main() works fine in 4.0.6). It
appears to be failing when it reads the conf/web.xml
page. It's as if the parser is configured differently
from Embedded than when running standalone Catalina (I
have no problem running Catalina standalone).

I just can't make any sense of it. Any help would be
appreciated. If it's a config problem, the I apologize
in advance for polluting this list with that type of
issue.

Thanks,  John
