Hiya....
Thanks for your help G.Wade and everyone. Finally got the bug. Basically
trawled through all the web.xml files that I felt were the likely suspects
(i.e. all those I touched).Problem was that some of my tags weren't in the correct order as defined
by the Sun DTD for web.xmlMy fault really as I had been using the structure given in a book which
used a different version of tomcat. D'oh!!
Anyway, thanks again.

well, in the next servlet spec, the web.xml will relax on the ordering of
elements :)
