Do you build directly into your deployment directory? That can be dangerous, because there is a race condition with the server. Try re-deploying a WAR file using the manager app or simply overwriting your WAR file while the server is running. Does that work? Here's your problem: > SEVERE: Context [/myapp] startup failed du to previous errors Due to what I believe is premature reloading, your webapp fails to start up properly. After a failed startup, Tomcat will not automatically reload the webapp for any reason: you'll need to do it manually, either by using the manager webapp or by bounding the entire TC instance. > My guess is that this is being caused by the filter > getting compiled - perhaps this is caused by the line in context.xml? > ("<WatchedResource>WEB-INF/web.xml</WatchedResource>") That just configures Tomcat to "watch" META-INF/web.xml for changes. If the file is touched, Tomcat will reload. This is the default behavior, so adding this to your own context.xml file doesn't actually accomplish anything. Your ClassCastException is probably due to a new version of the Class being loaded into the container, while an object of the old, outdated class was stored in session or application scope across the reload. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkiph6sACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PDvYwCggDSe75wPShV9pDZJ0ttcQ3vY ca4AoID38fpN1a0c08Px1nMEbsfrgQGd =p+wG -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
