Thanks for a prompt reply. I had done that clean install before. Anyway got to a clean install situation and I still got the same error.
So, I looked into my web.xml under $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/myapp/WEB-INF and there I found a reference to a servlet-name 'Invoker'. I had read about this somewhere. I commented out that block and things started working. My application starts fine. There is some other problem with my .so file. Need to figure that out. Not sure whether it is connected to this Invoker. Thanks for your guidance and I now know that there is no longer a need to mess around with setclasspath.sh. Great. It had been a nightmare! ********** ramsri wrote: > > I have been struggling for a week now getting my application deployed on > Tomcat 7.
