Hi, all.
We just downloaded and installed the Dovetail version of Tomcat. When we first tried to start it up, using the JZOS batch launcher, we got a parse error and Tomcat would not start. Here's the STDERR output from the execution. Help!

We have downloaded Tomcat 7.0.54 from Apache and installed it and it works fine from a telnet session startup, but really need to use the JZOS batch launcher in our particular enviornment. That's why we really would prefer to use the Dovetail product.

Thanks.

According to the exception, your conf/server.xml file contains malformed XML.

The server.xml file is the one that was delivered to us in the package from Dovetail. We didn't change it, just followed the installation instructions and got this at the point they said to 'submit the job!'.

it seems to be complaining about mal-formed XML in one of the included entities, like //DD:TCCONFIG(SERVXML)

That's what we thought, so we took the statements out of the SERVXML member of the TCCONFIG pds and inserted them directly into the server.xml file in the conf directory for Tomcat. Also, had to add <Server . . .> </Server> statements to the server.xml file and then it came up OK. Why doesn't the //DD:TCCONFIG(SERVXML statement work? It's like Tomcat is ignoring it on startup.
