Problem with WAR file deployment in Weblogic 5.1
I'm trying to deploy the sample war file(cookie example) given by weblogic. I have created the war file in the WL_HOME/myserver directory and also referenced it in the weblogic.properties file. When I start Weblogic 5.1, it's giving me the error pasted below. Essentially, it doesn't seem to recognise the XML file or the war file. Please provide any inputs you may have to resolve this.
