Description clever 2004-06-24 18:08:24 UTC 
Hello,
Today, after rebooting my computer and attempting
to re-start Tomcat for testing some changes to a
web app, I received the following output when I
tried to exceute (deploy / run) the webapp, or
when I try and 'debug':

Settings\saitken\.netbeans\3.6\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.19_base

        ... 6 more

I was unable to find the cause, but it looks like
a xerces problem. I have no strange drives or
network resources included in my project, and I
haven't made any changes to my embedded Tomcat
config files. (in my user home)
Please help!! This is a major blocker for a
project I am working on!!!
Thanks!

Comment 1 clever 2004-06-24 20:48:10 UTC 
More info:
I created a new empty web project and tried to execute.  The same
thing happened.  I can only assume that the problem isn't project related.
Also, when I ran the 'startup.bat' script in the tomcat 'bin' folder,
Tomcat started without any problems.
Comment 2 clever 2004-06-24 21:03:51 UTC 
Well, I figured it out. TUrns out that my recent move of my Netbeans
proggy directory caused the server.xml files to be out of synch.   The
old paths being referenced (and in the app-specific server.xml's in
the Catalina subfolder) were to my old drive "D:".  My new install was
on C:.
Manually modifying those config files to point to the correct location
solved the problem.
However, I can't deploy the app now.. something about "Failed to
lookup configuration for Tomcat5"..

Perhaps Netbeans should take full responsibility of managing those
config files on startup, and before 'executing' or debugging a
webapp?? This would make it transparent to the user and would allow
them to not have to know as much about Tomcat. Win win?

Cheers!
