Try this:
Remove 'source' from your Context Element:
<Context docBase="PMS" path="/PMS"
                        reloadable="true">
-- Franck

Thanks but that's not the problem.. the carriage return was inserted during
copy&paste, and it's not present in the original server.xml. Anyway I
probably find the REAL problem.
If I remove the "realm" tag from the "Context" I could start tomcat
otherwise I get the:

GRAVE: Begin event threw exception

java.lang.NullPointerException

        at
org.apache.catalina.loader.StandardClassLoader.loadClass(StandardClassLoader
.java:769)
[..]

exception.. so it seems to me there's only some possible causes:

1) tomcat can't find org.apache.catalina.realm.JDBCRealm (but it can find, for sure, org.apache.catalina.realm.UserDatabaseRealm) 2) tomcat can't find "com.mysql.jdbc.Drive"r or "org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver" (but "mysql-connector-java-3.1.12-bin.jar" is already in
$CATALINA_HOME/common/lib)

3) some other class missing but which one?

So it's seems a classpath or class reference problem.. but I don't know how to solve it..
DO I have to set Some special path in global OS CLASSPATH variable?
Do the JVM need some particular configuration to run tomcat??

I suspect from the error msg that your server.xml is non well-formed
somewhere, has a syntax error or bad class name. Try checking through it, or
comparing it to a fresh server.xml from a Tomcat distro. Frustrating, but
that's all it will be I think. Not sure if the carriage return is allowed or
not in the value here ..
