More JBoss Woes…

ARGH! I’d love some help on this one.

As far as I know I haven’t changed anything in my webapp or in my JBoss config. When I start JBoss my log looks good. When I open my broser I get the following error message:

HTTP Status 500

type Exception report
message
description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

exception

note The full stack trace of the root cause is available in the Apache Tomcat/5.0.26 logs.

The same error is in my server.log starting with the message:
11:40:12,375 ERROR [Engine] StandardWrapperValve[jsp]: Servlet.service() for servlet jsp threw exception…

Any ideas would be much appreciated….

    Looks like one of your TLD descriptors needs a tag.

    Email me if you still have problems

    Dan…

    Thanks for the tip. I’m checking my tlds right now. Any idea why this problem would show up out of the blue?
