Not sure if this is related at all... but here it goes: We do the same thing as you were doing, bundle Tomcat and our application into an installer package. During the packaging, we did not package "tomcat/logs" directory. Tomcat fails to start properly. But if we do a shutdown and start it back, everything works like a charm. The reason we found for this was - the Shutdown command creates the "tomcat/logs" directory and hence the subsequent startups work with no issues.

I am not sure but I think that is because of file(s) updation with windows. After some time I get this error only in the browser. HTTP Status 404 - Servlet CMLogin is not available Status report message Servlet CMLogin is not available description The requested resource (Servlet CMLogin is not available) is not available. The servlet is there and it is configured correctly in the web.xml. The mystery is why it works after restarting the system. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Tomcat-servlet-instantiation-error-tp19759091p19761188 .html Sent from the Tomcat - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 3485 (20081001) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 3485 (20081001) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
