Exception when loading Struts1.1 application when starting Tomcat

[Tim Clotworthy <tc...@bka-inc.com>]

Hello,
When I attempt to start Tomcat 4.1, where one of my applications is
Struts1.1-based, I get the following error:

2003-04-24 11:24:29 ContextConfig[/fesWar.bak]: Marking this application
unavailable due to previous error(s)

I do not get this error with other applications in the webapps directory
(this is the only one that uses Struts 1.1).

Any ideas, or thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in
advance.
