Hi there Michael, I am starting to think it might very well have to do with my context.xml file. I just saw in the logs that Tomcat was actually giving error saying that it could not deploy myapp.xml. After reading some on the web I discovered that this is actually my context.xml that Tomcat is picking up and then renames to my app's name but then something goes wrong.... Here is my context.xml file, I have changed it slightly since I saw the error removing path and docbase and adding factory, going to try this one out now and see whether that resolves the problem but just in case, here it is, maybe you spot something I am missing.... btw. Might there be an ever so slightly different way that this is handled with Tomcat on Linux as opposed to Windows?

Then I suspect a typo in your resource definition. I once had Resource/@url instead of Resource/@uri with the MySQL driver. The error was just: Cannot create JDBC driver of class 'com.mysql.jdbc.Driver' for connect URL 'null' Double-check your resource definition. -- Michael Ludwig --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org AfriGIS e-mail facility may not be used for the distribution of chain letters or offensive email.
