Hi, I don't think so ;) You're confusing two threads here. This guy doesn't get a 404, he gets a bind exception. There's no way to rule out the option I suggested from the information he's posted so far.
Your suggestion to the other guy who's getting the 404 is also likely wrong: the default servlet is included automatically from $CATALINA_HOME/conf/web.xml. A webapp's web.xml file can contain just the root element with nothing in it, as his does: that's both valid and supported by Tomcat.
