I've just upgraded from 5.0.19 to 5.0.24. My webapps worked fine under
5.0.19, but Tomcat is throwing the exception below under 5.0.24 when it
tries to start the webapp. (The apps also start properly under 5.0.20,
but fail under 5.0.21 with the same exception so it appears that a
change made in 5.0.21 is causing the problem.)

My server.xml and web.xml follow the exception trace.

I note that the manager webapp does start OK and works appears to work
properly, so it seems it must be something in the my server.xml or
web.xml, but I can't see what it is. I'm a little confused by the
ClassNotFoundException, since (according to the Javadoc) o.a.c.Container
is an interface, not a class.

My platform is WinXP. I'm running the Sun JDK 1.4.2-b28.

Any ideas on where I should look?
