Sorry - Had a brain cramp and am working on two many things at once. The file was actually still in the directory and had the wrong permissions. Once I set the correct permissions the error went away.

I was trying to get some third party libraries to work and at one point I copied one of the jar files into the examples/WEB-INF/lib directory. I subsequently removed that jar file from the directory but now I get this error in catalina.out during startup: Feb 7, 2011 9:42:52 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig deployDirectory INFO: Deploying web application directory examples Feb 7, 2011 9:42:52 PM org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappLoader start SEVERE: LifecycleException java.io.IOException: Failed to access resource /WEB-INF/lib/ess_es_server.jar at org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappLoader.setRepositories(WebappLoader.java:1050) at org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappLoader.start(WebappLoader.java:681) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.start(StandardContext.java:4504) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.addChildInternal(ContainerBase.java:791) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.addChild(ContainerBase.java:771) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHost.addChild(StandardHost.java:546) at org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.deployDirectory(HostConfig.java:1041) at org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.deployDirectories(HostConfig.java:964) at org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.deployApps(HostConfig.java:502 I also get a 404 error whenever I try to access any of the jsp pages in the examples webapp. I searched for references to ess_es_server.jar but couldn't find any. I also cleaned out the work and temp cache files. How do I get tomcat to stop looking for this file?
