Hello
I've just upgraded Apache Tomcat to version 7.0.11 and running an application of mine through NetBeans 7 gives me the following error: 23-Apr-2011 16:18:56 org.apache.catalina.startup.ContextConfig processContextConfig SEVERE: Parse error in context.xml for /visualRSS java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.catalina.valves.FastCommonAccessLogValve And so on. The code in my context.xml file for the valve is as follows: <Valve className = "org.apache.catalina.valves.FastCommonAccessLogValve" directory = "logs" pattern = "combined" prefix = "visualRSS_access_log." resolveHosts = "true" suffix = ".txt"/> And this worked well under the older version of Apache Tomcat used, i.e. 6.0.26. I have disabled the valve code because the log files are not very important to me at this time but can you advise? Thanks Martin O'Shea.
