Tomcat 4.1.29 and WAR context settings

[Brandon Goodin <br...@gmail.com>]

Greetings,

I am using Tomcat 4.1.29 and trying to deploy a WAR named meridian.war
with context configuration values. The WAR is not unpacking and I keep
getting the following error...

java.lang.NullPointerException

My server.xml configuration is as follows (minus passwords and sensitive stuff):

<Server port="18006" shutdown="SHUTDOWN" debug="0">

Any help would be appreciated.
