If the FileNotFoundException was encountered during "context startup" (that is, while the application was being deployed, including initializing any load-on-startup servlets or any filters at all, then Tomcat will fail to load the application. Tomcat itself should still be running, but the web application itself will not be deployed. It looks like Tomcat opts to disable the web app in accordance with section 10.6 of the servlet spec: " The container may respond to all subsequent requests to the Web application with an HTTP status code 500 to indicate an application error. " Hope that helps, - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkehAvsACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PB6ngCgvkZXW/tNOu2Zv48bc5i8fskW tS8AoJvENAqmUt5s92gojv3gUPhJepc5 =2enK -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
