Re: enhydra & cofax

Ben,

I have never used Cofax so I could be way out in left field,
but this looks to me like a parse error in
/usr/local/enhydra5.0/webapps/content/WEB-INF/web.xml.
You may want to try dumping in one of the sample servlet apps that comes
with Tomcat and see if that deploys properly, and if it does try
swapping the web.xml file from Cofax into the sample app and see if it
parses then.   

Also, I have noticed that with Tomcat 3.3.1, the sax parser requires you
to set the order of elements as:
<webapp>
        <servlett>....</servlet>
        <servlett> ...<servlet>
        <servlett-mapping>....</servlet-mapping>
        <servlett-mapping> ...<servlet-mapping>
</webapp>

and will choke on:
<webapp>
        <servlett>....</servlet>
        <servlett-mapping>....</servlet-mapping>
        <servlett> ...<servlet>
        <servlett-mapping> ...<servlet-mapping>
</webapp>
(which worked fine with 3.3a), but I can't remember the error message.
