If you check your log files, you should see that it doesn't like your web.xml file because <session-config> comes after <servlet-mapping> and before <mime-mapping> (which both come before <security-constraint>). Tomcat 4.x is picky about enforcing the order of elements in your web.xml file (TC 3.3 is as well, at least by default). The result is that Tomcat stopped reading your file as soon as it got to the <session-config> line.
