Ive just discovered /var/log/tomcat5/catalina.out (of course sitting
right there in front of me the whole time! grr), which actually has
error messages worth reading:
catalina.out is your friend :)
Which shows the culprit is
> <url-pattern>/myservlet/*.do</url-pattern>
which changed to the less interesting
<url-pattern>/myservlet</url-pattern>
will allow it to deploy.
For the benefit of those that google after me, does anyone want to
explain why the first patten wont work, or offer up any further
debugging tips?
The exception is being thrown because a call to the validateURLPattern
method of org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext failed. Patterns
that start with "/" may not contain "*.", and patterns that start
with
"*." may not contain "/".
Why that should be the case I have no idea...
Cheers,
