It would have been helpful to include all the error messages the first time around. I then wouldn't have had to waste time working through the code checking that there should have been an error message and telling you what to look for. Unless you are absolutely sure the errors are for an unrelated problem then don't exclude what could be useful information. > INFO: Deploying configuration descriptor > /usr/local/tomcat/apache-tomcat-7.0.37/conf/Catalina/localhost/MyApp.xml > Jun 25, 2013 9:49:53 AM org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig > deployDescriptor > SEVERE: Error deploying configuration descriptor > /usr/local/tomcat/apache-tomcat-7.0.37/conf/Catalina/localhost/MyApp.xml So there is a pretty big hint that there is something wrong with MyApp.xml > java.lang.NullPointerException > at > org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.deployDescriptor(HostConfig.java:625) Hmm. Odd. That means the digester parsed the file without error but failed to create a Context instance. > INFO: Deploying configuration descriptor > /usr/local/tomcat/apache-tomcat-7.0.37/conf/Catalina/localhost/host-manager.xml Another app starts without issue. > Jun 25, 2013 9:49:53 AM org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig > deployDescriptors > SEVERE: Error waiting for multi-thread deployment of context descriptors > to complete More fall-out from the original error. > INFO: Deploying configuration descriptor > /usr/local/tomcat/apache-tomcat-7.0.37/conf/Catalina/localhost/manager.xml Another app starting normally. > Jun 25, 2013 9:49:53 AM org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig deployWAR > INFO: Deploying web application archive > /usr/local/tomcat/apache-tomcat-7.0.37/webapps/MyApp.war > Jun 25, 2013 9:49:53 AM org.apache.tomcat.util.digester.Digester > endElement > WARNING: No rules found matching 'application/Context/Resource'. > Jun 25, 2013 9:49:53 AM org.apache.tomcat.util.digester.Digester > endElement > WARNING: No rules found matching 'application/Context'. > Jun 25, 2013 9:49:53 AM org.apache.tomcat.util.digester.Digester > endElement > WARNING: No rules found matching 'application'. > Jun 25, 2013 9:49:53 AM org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase > addChildInternal OK. That isn't good. That indicates the context.xml file is very wrong along with some hints as to what the problem is. > So does this mean that I have to reconfigure MyApp.xml in that directory?

Where does it suggest that this is valid for a context.xml file? This is a context.xml file, not a web.xml file.
