Tomcat 4.1 not starting, how do I track error (database pooling)

[Paul Taylor <pa...@fastmail.fm>]

Hi
having written an application that ran fine on Tomcat 5 I am having to 
regress it to run on Tomcat 4.1 running on Windows. part of the 
deployment involves setting up database pooling.

First of all I deployed my application war only and started Tomcat using 
catalina start this worked ok, but I then needed to configure database 
pooling to get it fully working.

In Tomcat 5.0 I had a config file /contextname.xml /under 
CATLINA_HOME/conf/catalina/localhost which worked fine, under Tomcat 4.0 
I have added the contents to  server.xml. I then ran catalina.bat start 
this starts another window but then disappears immediately before I am 
able to trap the problem, there is nothing in the log file to indicate 
the problem.

Could anybody please help with any of the following ?

1. How do I stop the window started my Catalina from disappearing so I 
can see what the problem is.
2. In Tomcat 4.0 can I have a config file for my application rather than 
adding it to server.xml
3. I am using the mysqllConnectector 3.15 driver does this work with 
Tomcat 4.0.
4. Are pooling connections configured the same in 4 as 5 or not below I 
have listed the contents of my xml file from Tomcat 5.
