Hi,

First check for ur log file for the error if it gives error abt compatibility package then installCompat zip file that will contain the following list, which are needed when running on J2SE 1.4:
* jmx.jar (Java Management Extensions API 1.2 or later)
* xercesImpl.jar (Xerces XML Parser, version 2.6.2 or later)

In class path add new System variable as
CATALINA_HOME c:\java\tomcat 5.5.4

I hope this will solve ur problem

Karthik,

can you post your web.xml file content here, so that we can understand the problem. I understand that Container is unable to locate your resource.
