Servlet context problem

[John Reynolds <Jo...@esfrs.org>]

I have been developing a servlet application, that runs fine within the
ide (netbeans).

When i deploy the war file to tomcat the application works fine. the
context.xml file lists the servlet context as /servlet/ICTHelpdesk

and the manager app lists the correct context and everything works
fine, until tomcat (5.0.28) is restarted. the manager now lists two
contexts /ICTHelpdesk and /servlet/appICTHelpdesk name, but
/servlet/ICTHelpdesk will not start, and the following exception is
thrown.
