In one instance, the welcome page opened in its
own window and also started netscape. In another
instance, the welcome page did not appear at all.
The exception itself is always reproducible.

NPE from tomcat .....
Comment 2 Milan Kuchtiak 2004-08-13 11:57:37 UTC 
The issue isn't relevant to actual code base.
Tomcat4 has been replaced by Tomcat5
