Many thanks for all the advice - definitely the issue is in the creation or unpacking of the war file - I think this as if I just copy the file structure from the IDE, the app starts with no issue. I'll continue to trouble shoot the war files and report back. ________________________________________ From: Christopher Schultz [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 14 August 2008 00:05 To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Application failed to start - debug suggestions wanted

It might not be your WAR file, though: it might be any of the libraries that you deployed along with your webapp, or it might be something in the TOMCAT_HOME/common/lib or TOMCAT_HOME/shared/lib or TOMCAT_HOME/lib (depending on your version of TC) directories. I'd recommend running "unzip -t" on each JAR file to verify that they're good to go. If you use FTP to transfer files, remember to set the transfer mode to BINARY. If you use CVS to store JAR files, remember to turn off keyword expansion (-kb) when adding those files to the repository. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkijBk0ACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PAeHQCfRu3mnyCe4wIV6m74yY/WBYOB aLIAoLgbMMNld9DJRBlxbVAuA5uMj1gT =xL6N -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
