RE: error reading request --please help

[Vasanth Krishnan Venkatachalam]

Hi, i've started tomcat run. when i point my browser to

http://vader.ics.uci.edu:19000

i get a message in the window where tomcat is running. so obviously tomcat
is detecting something, but it's generating this error:

 ContextManager: Error reading request, ignored - java.lang
.NullPointerException

org.apache.tomcat.service.http.HttpConnectionHandler.processConnectio
n(HttpConnectionHandler.java, Compiled Code)
