Well after playing with web.xml I got my app up and partly working in Tomcat 7.

When I go to http://localhost:7080/allMATCHWeb the default page is loaded. My 
properties file is loaded and language based webpages generated, etc.

Now my issue seems to be with web services. Again the web.xml contains the 
following for each webservice.

  <servlet>
    <servlet-name>MessageServiceServlethttp</servlet-name>
    
<servlet-class>com.surecomp.allMATCH.client.webservices.MessageService</servlet-class>
    <load-on-startup>0</load-on-startup>
  </servlet>

  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>MessageServiceServlethttp</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>MessageService</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>

Now, these work for webshpere and weblogic, so I am assuming (bad thing I know) 
that the same would work for Tomcat.

The log file is producing the following when deploying the services.

This is a spec requirement, not a Tomcat requirement. Other containers
may be more lenient.

Images are stripped from posts to the list. Can you post it somewhere
online and give us a link? Or, just copy/paste any relevant content from
your screen?

Ditto.

You'll have to provide your web.xml for us to know when you need
authentication challenges. Are you using container-managed authentication?

Again, including web.xml should help. Note that using an "InitServlet"
hasn't been recommended since the addition of the ServletContextListener
interface a long time ago.
