OK. The JSP in question is my error page (e.g isErrorPage="true") which prints out the exception in a more aesthetic manner. The reason this page was being thrown at me is because of all the other issues with the JNDI connectivity. Initially when I first started 5.5 the error message was a JasperException telling me that various package imports were not being used. Now, I never thought that was a crime (just not very good programming) but 5.5 decided to blow up because of these imports. Since the imports were not actually used, I decided to remove them from the JSP and this solved the error, and now I can see my nice error page - but remember I am seeing it in the first place because all my database connectivity is broken. I am guessing that as soon as JNDI is fixed and my webapp can proceed to fully start up, quite a number of my JSPs will break due to unused package imports. I am guessing this must be a change in Jasper because 5.0 was happy to render JSPs with unused package imports (as is any Java application code). > > > > 2/ Had the error mentioned earlier about ROOT child '' > > > cannot be deployed because it was shared by another context. > > > I just removed the ROOT folder from webapps to get rid of > > > that problem. > > > > > > Does everyone really think it's a good idea to have > Context elements > > > in server.xml ? > > > > I don't and I have not.

I've been unlucky with some of the problems I have had with TC I guess. I do try and do everything properly. Here is an exact description of what I did to cause this problem including my stdout after starting TC. 1. Downloaded 5.5 as zip, installed Java 5 SDK 2. Unzipped to c:\jakarta-tomcat 3. Copied c:\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.25\conf\Catalina\localhost\iq.xml to c:\jakarta-tomcat-5.5.0\conf\Catalina\localhost\iq.xml (this iq.xml file is my web application. It contains my Context as the following header + all my JNDI resources ...) <Context path="" docBase="/iq" reloadable="true"> 4. Copied c:\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.25\webapps\iq to c:\jakarta-tomcat\webapps\iq 5. Copied my database jTDS JAR into c:\jakarta-tomcat\common\lib\jtds.jar 6. Ran c:\jakarta-tomcat\bin\service.bat ensuring use of new Java 5 SDK 7. Started TC service. 8.

generate this usecase simply by placing an empty webapp into your webapps folder and then adding an xml config for it in /conf/Catalina/localhost/ with attribute path="" My point was that it appears from the exception that ROOT owns path="" and so when my iq web application is started which also wants to use path="" TC is falling over. My solution which proves this was to simply delete ROOT folder from c:\jakarta-tomcat\webapps and restart TC. This removes this exception. I hope this clarifies my point on this matter.
