I have a little project with some jsp deployed on an Tomcat 5.5. Recently the Servlets which are also deployed with the jsp files (one war archive) stopped working. I also checked out a previous version from my svn which should work. What I noticed that the displayname (I use a german version of Tomcat , so I guess that is how I would translate it, the name in the second column in the Tomcat manager) disappeared. I use Eclipse Ganymede on vista. Tomcat is running on Debian. A local Tomcat shows the same behavior. Hope someone have an idea. Thanks.

Is the <display-name> element in the web.xml file? Is the web.xml file in the WAR and at /WEB-INF/web.xml? Does it validate (eclipse can do that, or try w3c.org's validation service)?

I would start by looking at the deployment descriptor for your application. i.e. web.xml. Usually, when an application is deployed but does not start its because of either a misconfig or not well formed web.xml.

Thanks to both of you. I discovered, that eclipse stopped (for still unknown reasons to generate the web.xml). So i had to write it by myself.

And how did you write it by yourself? i have the same problem and can't fix...
