my tomcat is broken now, as of last night, I turn it on & when I go to
main page in browser (localhost) text is there but imgs are missing (but
imgs ARE there, I can see them in ROOT dir..) and whatever I try to run
I get a 404.. when I try to get to JSP or servlet examples that came
w/tomcat I get a blank page.. when I'm turning on tomcat in DOS shell
(or is it tomcat shell?) one of the things I see that I think is weird
is this:

INFO: Missing application web.xml, using defaults only
StandardEngine[Catalina]
StandardHost[localhost].StandardContext[/cc]
Oct 30, 2004 9:25:53 AM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHostDeployer
install

'Missing application web.xml'? it doesn't where.. I don't know if it
means the one in conf/ or in webapps apps.....
but at any rate, everything's still there where it should be.. I
certainly have not deleted any web.xml.. would appreciate any
suggestions.. would like to not have to install tomcat again.. :(...
thank you very much.. Frances

PS: tomcat is version 5.0.27

Pls disregard, got my tomcat to work again.. fortunately before making
any changes to conf/web.xml I had kept a spare copy of orig and reverted
back to orig and presto -- working again.. but: when I turn tomcat on
it still says..

Cases where you need to change conf/web.xml in Tomcat should be very
seldom; typically you'd change WEB-INF/web.xml within an application.

Things to do in conf/web.xml:
- change default (server-wide, as opposed to application-wide)
MIME type mappings (so, which file extensions are served with which
MIME type tag); even here per-application changes are preferred
- completely disable all traces of invoker servlet (cannot be done
in application space)
- enable support for SSI or CGI servlets (in the wierd case that these
are absolutely required; anyway, Tomcat provides Java programmability
already, and JSP is a good functional superset of SSI)

(that's what I've seen/needed so far)
