I am using the correct server.xml.
In the version 5.5.36 the maxThreads of 0 has no effect due to this code in
org.apache.tomcat.util.net.PoolTcpEndpoint
public void setMaxThreads(int maxThreads) {
if( maxThreads > 0)
tp.setMaxThreads(maxThreads);
}
So what I observe is correct. I.e. with 0 there is no error and also my web
application works fine since it defaults to 200 threads.
Will check this out in Tomcat 6

That last one is not true: the code will happily accept maxThreads=0
but then will throw an exception when the connector tries to actually
start its Executor.
I suspect Hermes is editing some unrelated server.xml file: his
observations seem totally in-line with that hypothesis.
Hermes, try modifying your server.xml file to be syntactically
incorrect. For example, put a "<!--" into the middle of the file and
try to start Tomcat. If it still starts, you are editing the wrong file.
