Tomcat deployment - help!
Hi everybody,
My application works perfectly on the bundled server but when I deploy it to Tomcat I get an error. I added the JSTL libraries as explained in the deployment example but I think the error comes from the code as there is a nullpointerexception! I am new to java please help me with some directions...
The full error message is the following:
type: Exception report
message description: The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

note The full stack trace of the root cause is available in the Apache Tomcat/5.5.23 logs.
Thanks a lot.

PS: Is it not possible to install Tomcat in the IDE instead of the bundled server?
