Strange tomcat behavior

["Jason R. Kretzer" <jason@OpinionOne.com>]

Hello all,

I am using Tomcat 4.1.12, Java 1.4.1, and Apache 1.3.26.  Whenever I 
start up the Tomcat, it starts fine but as soon as one of the servlets 
is accessed, it throws Exception 1 below in the catalina.out.  Anyone 
know which document this error is being thrown in regards to?

Secondly, I have one context with three subfolders.  /Context/subfolder1 
, /Context/subfolder2, /Context/subfolder3.  subfolders1 and 3 show up 
fine but when I access subfolder2, an exception displays on the screen 
that the resource is not avaiable.  I have them listed in httpd.conf 
correctly, of this I am sure.

The only clue I have as to why subfolder2 is not available, is when 
Tomcat is shut down and Exception 2 below is added to the catalina.out.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

-Jason
