Hi Daniel
Thanks for the reply.
I have not used a webapp META-INF/context.xml before. So I had tried to
refer to online examples.
This is what I did.
- Create context.xml in webapp/META-INF
- This is what I have added in context.xml

And in my localhost.log

Seems that all the required components starts up fine. But I received this
error when i try to access http://localhost:8080/{webapp}/, it shows the
following on the response.

I cannot figure out what is the problem, because I can't find anymore
errors, or stacktrace in any of my logfiles, catalina.stderr etc...
I can't find any information with regard to resource path [null]. What have
