ant in tomcat3.1 release gives parse exception on sample build.xm l

[Holger Wiechert <Ho...@coconet.de>]

Hi,

I'm just trying to get the first steps done in deploying a web app. I
started with the sample delivered with Tomcat 3.1. When running the
build.bat form the dir

<tomcat_home>\doc\appdev\sample


I get the following error message:

---------------------
C:\Programme\tomcat\doc\appdev\sample>build
Buildfile: build.xml
BUILD CONFIG ERROR: Can't open config file: build.xml due to:
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: com.sun.xml.parser/P-031 <
org.apache.tools.ant.BuildException: Can't open config file: build.xml due
to: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException:
com.sun.xml.parser/P-031 <
        at
org.apache.tools.ant.ProjectHelper.configureProject(ProjectHelper.java:93)
        at org.apache.tools.ant.Main.runBuild(Main.java:223)
        at org.apache.tools.ant.Main.main(Main.java:191)
---------------------

Can anybody tell me please, what's going wrong?

Thanks in advance, Holger

Unset LC_ALL to get a more meaningful error message from the
parser. Probably your build.xml is not wellformed. For some reason
Sun's parser doesn't fall back to the english locale when it can't
find a translated error message (I've run into the same problem once).
