When I try to run a webapp deployed on my local Tomcat 6 installation, I
get the following error:

SEVERE: Error starting static Resources
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Document base
C:\Users\dserodio\workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.w st.server.core\tmp0\wtpwebapps\hello
does not exist or is not a readable directory

This directory doesn't exist alright. Maybe Eclipse is having problems
with file permissions and can't create this directory? I tried manually
creating this directory but it doesn't work because no files are copied
into it.

Has anyone seen this problem? I don't have any problems of this kind in
Windows XP...

Thanks in advance,
Daniel Serodio

The server "publish" operation should have populated that directory.
For info, see:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/WTP_Tomcat_FAQ#What_does_Publish_do_ for_Tomcat_servers_in_the_Servers_view.3F

I don't know what would be different about Windows 7 that would prevent
the publish from working. Do you see anything related displayed in your
Error Log view?

Cheers,
Larry

Solved, the project descriptors (created by Gradle) were borked. I
created a new Dynamic Web Project and copied the files over and the
problem is gone.

Thanks for your help.
