[nash avin]

Hi,
I am trying to get a simple servlet running using tomcat 5.0.16.I had posted the problem previously,but I dont know why it was ignored,plz dont ignore this too.
Here is the problem I am facing.......
While I startup tomcat,I get the following error,
/********************* Start of Error message at the console *************/
SEVERE: Cannot find message associated with key standardContext.resourcesStart
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Document base E:\sampleapp does not exist or
is not a readable directory

/*********************End of Error message at the console ****************/
The directory structure is as follows............
/TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/sampleapp
/TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/sampleapp/WEB-INF
/TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/sampleapp/WEB-INF/classes
/TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/sampleapp/WEB-INF/lib
/TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/sampleapp/WEB-INF/sourcefiles
/TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/sampleapp/WEB-INF/web.xml
The content of web.xml is as follows.....................
/**********************Start of web.xml ***********************/

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app
PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">

<description> Servlet 2.4 Examples </description>
<!-- Servlet mapping start -->
<!-- Define servlets. i.e. bind a servlet name to a class -->
<servlet>
<servlet-name>HelloServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>HelloServlet</servlt-class>
</servlet>
<!-- bind a servlet name to a URL (pattern) -->
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>HelloServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/sampleapp</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<!-- Servlet mapping end -->
</web-app>
/********************************* End of web.xml *****************************/
Now I have modified the server.xml file in the TOMCAT_HOME/conf/server.xml................like this,just a line
/******************************* server.xml ***********************************/
<Context path="/sampleapp" docBase="e:\sampleapp" debug="0" reloadable="true">
</Context>
/*****************************server.xml************************************/
Kindly help me out.
Any help would be appreciated

The message

SEVERE: Cannot find message associated with key standardContext.resourcesStart
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Document base E:\sampleapp does not exist or
is not a readable directory

Is telling you whats wrong. Your entry in server.xml is telling Tomcat to look for the web application in the absolute path e:\sampleapp but you have put the application under webapps.
