Re: can't create action instance

[Phil Windley <wi...@imall.com>]

OK, I've checked all this until I'm slap happy and still can't see a
problem (I'm sure I'll kick myself when I see it).  

One clue I've seen is that upon loading, my application lists as loaded (in
a context), but on stopping Tomcat, its not listed in the stopped
contexts.  

Will I see more of an error message than the one listed below if there's a
run time error in the action class?
