Hi can someone here please help???
 
 I have a WAR file that was succesfully deployed in
 WebSphere Application Server. The file now needs to
be
 deployed in
 Tomcat apache 4.0. I copied the WAR file into the
 webapps folder. Restarted the machine and tomcat was
 able to extract
 the contents of this WAR file and build the folder
 structure neccessary. When I run the application, the
 login page comes
 up, but once I try to login, I get the following
 exception:
 
 Apache Tomcat/4.0.6 - HTTP Status 500 - Internal
 Server Error
 

--------------------------------------------------------------

 type Exception report

 description The server encountered an internal error
 (Internal Server Error) that prevented it from

 Here is a copy of my server.xml
 
 <!-- Example Server Configuration File --
 <!-- Note that component elements are nested
 corresponding to their
      parent-child relationships with each other --
 
 <!-- A "Server" is a singleton element that
represents
 the entire JVM,
      which may contain one or more "Service"
 instances.  The Server
      listens for a shutdown command on the indicated
 port.
 
      Note:  A "Server" is not itself a "Container",
so
 you may not
      define subcomponents such as "Valves" or
 "Loggers" at this level.
  --
 
 <Server port="8005" shutdown="SHUTDOWN" debug="0"
 
 
   <!-- A "Service" is a collection of one or more
 "Connectors" that share
        a single "Container" (and therefore the web
 applications visible
        within that Container).  Normally, that
 Container is an "Engine",
        but this is not required.
 
        Note:  A "Service" is not itself a
"Container",
 so you may not
        define subcomponents such as "Valves" or
 "Loggers" at this level.
    --
 
   <!-- Define the Tomcat Stand-Alone Service --
   <Service name="Tomcat-Standalone"
 
     <!-- A "Connector" represents an endpoint by
which
 requests are received
          and responses are returned.  Each Connector
 passes requests on to the
          associated "Container" (normally an Engine)
 for processing.
 
          By default, a non-SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector is
 established on port 8080.
          You can also enable an SSL HTTP/1.1
Connector
 on port 8443 by
          following the instructions below and
 uncommenting the second Connector
          entry.  SSL support requires the following
 steps (see the SSL Config
          HOWTO in the Tomcat 4.0 documentation bundle
 for more detailed
          instructions):
          * Download and install JSSE 1.0.2 or later,
 and put the JAR files
            into "$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext".
          * Execute:
              %JAVA_HOME%\bin\keytool -genkey -alias
 tomcat -keyalg RSA (Windows)
              $JAVA_HOME/bin/keytool -genkey -alias
 tomcat -keyalg RSA  (Unix)
            with a password value of "changeit" for
 both the certificate and
            the keystore itself.
 
          By default, DNS lookups are enabled when a
 web application calls
          request.getRemoteHost().  This can have an
 adverse impact on
          performance, so you can disable it by
setting
 the
          "enableLookups" attribute to "false".  When
 DNS lookups are disabled,
          request.getRemoteHost() will return the
 String version of the
          IP address of the remote client.

            For a similar mechanism that is portable
to

                saveOnRestart: If true, all active
 sessions will be saved
                  to the Store when Catalina is
 shutdown, regardless of
                  other settings. All Sessions found
in
 the Store will be 
                  loaded on startup. Sessions past
 their expiration are
                  ignored in both cases.
                maxActiveSessions: If 0 or greater,
 having too many active 
                  sessions will result in some being
 swapped out. minIdleSwap
                  limits this. -1 means unlimited
 sessions are allowed.
                  0 means sessions will almost always
 be swapped out after
                  use - this will be noticeably slow
 for your users.
                minIdleSwap: Sessions must be idle for
 at least this long
                  (in seconds) before they will be
 swapped out due to 
                maxActiveSessions. This avoids
 thrashing when the site is 
                  highly active. -1 or 0 means there
is
 no minimum - sessions
                  can be swapped out at any time.
                maxIdleSwap: Sessions will be swapped
 out if idle for this
                  long (in seconds). If minIdleSwap is
 higher, then it will
                  override this. This isn't exact: it
 is checked periodically.
                  -1 means sessions won't be swapped
 out for this reason,
                  although they may be swapped out for
 maxActiveSessions.
                  If set to = 0, guarantees that all
 sessions found in the
                  Store will be loaded on startup.
                maxIdleBackup: Sessions will be backed
 up (saved to the Store,
                  but left in active memory) if idle
 for this long (in seconds), 
                  and all sessions found in the Store
 will be loaded on startup.
                  If set to -1 sessions will not be
 backed up, 0 means they
                  should be backed up shortly after
 being used.
 
                To clear sessions from the Store, set
 maxActiveSessions, maxIdleSwap,
                and minIdleBackup all to -1,
 saveOnRestart to false, then restart 
                Catalina.

 "jakarta-tomcat-connectors/webapp" CVS repository)
 
        To configure the Apache side, you must ensure
 that you have the
        "ServerName" and "Port" directives defined in
 "httpd.conf".  Then,
        lines like these to the bottom of your
 "httpd.conf" file:
 
          LoadModule webapp_module
 libexec/mod_webapp.so
          WebAppConnection warpConnection warp
 localhost:8008
          WebAppDeploy examples warpConnection
 /examples/
 
        The next time you restart Apache (after
 restarting Tomcat, if needed)
        the connection will be established, and all
 applications you make
        visible via "WebAppDeploy" directives can be
 accessed through Apache.
