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). java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.commons.digester.ObjectCreateRule.begin(ObjectCreateRule.j ava:252) at org.apache.commons.digester.Rule.begin(Rule.java:200) at org.apache.commons.digester.Digester.startElement(Digester.java:1273) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.AbstractSAXParser.startElement(Unknown Sour ce) at org.apache.xerces.impl.dtd.XMLDTDValidator.startElement(Unknown Sourc e) at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl.scanStartElemen t(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl$FragmentContent Dispatcher.dispatch(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl.scanDocument(Un known Source) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.XML11Configuration.parse(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.DTDConfiguration.parse(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.XMLParser.parse(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.parsers.AbstractSAXParser.parse(Unknown Source) at org.apache.commons.digester.Digester.parse(Digester.java:1548) at org.apache.catalina.startup.ContextConfig.applicationConfig(ContextCo nfig.java:282) at org.apache.catalina.startup.ContextConfig.start(ContextConfig.java:63 9) at org.apache.catalina.startup.ContextConfig.lifecycleEvent(ContextConfi g.java:243) at org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleSupport.fireLifecycleEvent(Lifecycl eSupport.java:166) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.start(StandardContext.java:3 568) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.start(ContainerBase.java:1188) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHost.start(StandardHost.java:738) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.start(ContainerBase.java:1188) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngine.start(StandardEngine.java:347 ) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Embedded.addEngine(Embedded.java:464) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Embedded.main(Embedded.java:1109) 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 __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
