Hello all,

I've searched high and low before posting tried every test I could think of before posting here... This problem seems too simple to be a bug, but can't find a method of resolving it.
I decided to skip the port of our application (ran fine on WAS 6 - JVM 1.5) that was that originated the problem and boiled it down to a WAR with 1 servlet that attempts to do a JNDI lookup to get a datasource. (This test web app works in WAS) Condensed details below.

I hope someone can shed light on what is going on, thanks!

The details:
-Tomcat 6 - JVM 1.5
-WAR file created in Rational 6
-App does DB2 lookups (not even concerned about the code itsel yet)
-Resources defined correctly in WEB-INF/web.xml (auto generated by Rational 6)
-Added META-INF/context.xml
-Added <WatchedResource>META-INF/context.xml</WatchedResource> in conf/context.xml
-Automatic loading of app generates: conf/Catalina/localhost/TestWeb.xml

- It looks like the parsing problem is in web.xml (from below error), but I could not find
anything wrong there. I did not modify conf/web.xml and WEB-INF/web.xml
is auto generated. So I started looking in TestWeb.xml and simplified
it. Seems anything that I put in that file fails other than just: (no more errors in log file)
  <Context>
  </Context>


These even fail:
-   <Context><Resource /></Context>
-   <Context><Resource name="test"/></Context>
-  Also had all details in the Context tag for the app and Resource tag as described in the documentation for DataSources (incl. DB2 datasources)


I also tried putting the Resource definition in:
-GlobalResources block of server.xml

-The error generated is: (from catalina*.log)
FINE: Processing context [/TestWeb] configuration file C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\T
omcat 6.0\conf\Catalina\localhost\TestWeb.xml null
