Thanks guys... I'm not sure if the following is an Eclipse or Tomcat issue. I have a simple webservices demo written from tuorial. It appeared that teh server was started up thru server staus window of eclips..console o/p etc but it never appeared in task manager or the tomcat was not accessable thru a browser. On closer inspection I found the following error..this happens when i try to start the server thru eclipse..
SEVERE: Error starting static Resources java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Document base C:\Documents and Settings\Brian\workspace\ganymede\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp1\wtpwebapps\service_demo does not exist or is not a readable directory at org.apache.naming.resources.FileDirContext.setDocBase(FileDirContext.java:141) Any ideas? T p.s. I have another thread on web services that ended up asking the same qn as above. although it started out as a more generic question. I hope this not against policy. I'll delete other thread if required.
