Tomcat deployment problem

General
1

Hello!

When I try to deploy my Vaadin application on Apache Tomcat 7.0.12, I’m getting the error message

04.05.2011 19:34:07 org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig deployWAR
SEVERE: Error deploying configuration descriptor xyz.war

I didn’t find any hints about the detailed cause of this in the logs.

Where can I find out the details (e. g. the stack trace) about this failure?

My application runs without problems when I launch it via “mvn jetty:run”.

Here’s the web.xml file:

Hello!

The problem was caused by a malformed context.xml.

Best regards
