I've found many references to this problem on the list and in mail archives but none had to do with my situation and I don't know how to fix this.
Because we have used other web containers in the past, our WEB-INF folder is not located in the root of the webapp. We have a symbolic link. The directory structure looks like this. ROOT/ ROOT/docs (jsp images etc) ROOT/WEB-INF/ ROOT/classes/ ROOT/jars There are sym links to make this work with tomcat. ROOT/docs/WEB-INF-> ../WEB-INF ROOT/WEB-INF/classes-> ../classes ROOT/WEB-INF/lib-> ../jars This all worked fine with tomcat 4.0.4 but now with 4.1.10 I can't get it to recognize the web.xml I get the following: ContextConfig[]: Missing application web.xml, using defaults only If I remove the sym links and copy the data to the correct location, things start up, the web.xml is found. Is it just symbolic links in general or is there something I'm missing.
