I have written a small web app (using NetBeans) which has been running fine for a couple of weeks. Yesterday afternoon, I added a new page to the program, rebuilt it, created a new .war file and installed it in my tomcat webapps directory. And tomcat won't start it. The log file (catalina.out) is listed below.

It complains about a missing class - but what is com.sun.el.ExpressionFactoryImpl and why would that be missing?? Or is that actually the missing class? If not, how do I figure out what is not there?

My program seems to start - it prints the 'App started successfully' from my init servlet. But when I try to connect to the app from my browser, I get the null pointer exception - but I don't know how to figure out where that is coming from either.

Can someone give me a hint as to what might be wrong? Or how to figure it out? I'm fine with debugging my own code - but I can't get a handle on where to look.... Have I lost a library somewhere? Netbeans didn't complain when I built the war file...

thanks very much,

nbc
