When I look at the stack trace it seems to say that someone may have slipped in a illegal character in a file that is declaired to be UTF8 encoded. Ox3 is a control character in UTF-8, but if you use a broken editor and wrong file encoding when editing the plan files it is easy to add a illegal character by mistake. It could be any one of application.xml, web.xml or ejb-jar.xml. If you use a more convenient xml validator than geronimo ;) I'm sure it will point out exactly which character and which file. If you're on linux I can recommend the neat tool xmllint. In windows, just fire up netbeans or eclipse. -- Fredrik Jonson
