I can NOT get the ROOT context of my tomcat server to come up when I start tomcat from
within Eclipse.

If I start Tomcat 5.0 from the shortcut icon provided with Tomcat 5.0
I can visit in my browser http://localhost and I see the Tomcat default page and it says
"Apache Tomcat/5.0.9"

If I start Tomcat 5.0 in Eclipse I get:
exception

javax.servlet.ServletException: Can't get definitions factory from context.
org.apache.jasper.runtime.PageContextImpl.handlePageExceptio n(PageContextImpl.java:682)

....

I think I have it set up correctly.

In windows | preferences
I have set:
Tomcat 5.x
Tomcat home is:
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.0
(yes I'm on windows 98)
Tomcat config file is:
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.0\conf\server.xml
JRE is 1.4.2

I have NOT set "Don't run Tomcat in Debug"

I am starting a 5.0 Tomcat, because asking for the xyz context gives me a
404 page that says:
Apache Tomcat/5.0.9

Any ideas? Do I need to add something to some path? What is it tripping over?
It seems to me it might something to do with the default dir that tomcat is running/starting
in, but I don't see where to set that in Eclipse. The shortcut icon is
running from the dir:
"C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.0"

Oddly enough the only application I have configured in the server.xml works just fine
and it is doing a hot deploy by pointing into my Eclipse workspace. Commenting that app
out of the server.xml does not change the root context.

Any ideas?

TIA,
-Paul
