[jetty-users] Cryptic Error Message

[Chad La Joie <chad.lajoie@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm testing with the Jetty 7 built from rev 560, latest rev as off a 30 
mins ago, or so.

I'm trying to deploy my application via a context descriptor:
<Configure class="org.eclipse.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext">
  <Set name="war">/opt/idp/shibboleth-idp/war/idp.war</Set>
  <Set name="contextPath">/idp</Set>
  <Set name="extractWAR">false</Set>
  <Set name="copyWebDir">false</Set>
</Configure>

When the context is starting I receive the exception below.  The odd 
part is that the error seems to be occurring while the deployer is 
attempting to parse a TLD (tag lib descriptor).   The reason I find that 
odd is because I have no TLDs in my app.  Could someone suggest what the 
issue might be?
