I did a clean install on Tomcat 5.5.16, 5.5.15 and 5.028 on Aix 5.3 on Power 4 and Power 5 (64bit) running with IBM Java 5_64. In each one of this installation, I could not get servlets-examples working. I know little about Tomcat so please pardon my ignorance.
This is the output from log file that it shows in each version. INFO: Processing Context configuration file URL file:/usr/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28/conf/Catalina/localhost/admin.xml Mar 18, 2006 3:31:47 PM org.apache.struts.util.PropertyMessageResources <init> INFO: Initializing, config='org.apache.struts.util.LocalStrings', returnNull=true Mar 18, 2006 3:31:47 PM org.apache.struts.util.PropertyMessageResources <init> INFO: Initializing, config='org.apache.struts.action.ActionResources', returnNull=true Mar 18, 2006 3:31:48 PM org.apache.struts.util.PropertyMessageResources <init> INFO: Initializing, config='org.apache.webapp.admin.ApplicationResources', returnNull=true Mar 18, 2006 3:31:53 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHostDeployer install INFO: Processing Context configuration file URL file:/usr/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28/conf/Catalina/localhost/balancer.xml Mar 18, 2006 3:31:53 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHostDeployer install INFO: Processing Context configuration file URL file:/usr/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28/conf/Catalina/localhost/manager.xml Mar 18, 2006 3:31:53 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHostDeployer install INFO: Processing Context configuration file URL file:/usr/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28/conf/Catalina/localhost/abcfs.xml log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.apache.commons.beanutils.ConvertUtils). log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.

Before posting this question, I googled it and found that many other people have also reported same but nobody gave a satisfactory answer as what might be causing this. One person said that he fixed it but did not give the solution. I know that this could be a little issue which I am able to detect. Please remember that it was clean install and I have not even tried to run the webapp. Is it the problem related to the filterstart and after that it says that Context startup failed due to previous errors. I appreciate your help.
