Getting 'Error listenerStart' error message

[bhagyeshjain]

Hi,

I'm new to Activiti Explorer.

Based on tutorials, I'm trying to configure Activiti Explorer in my apache tomcat 6.0.33

I have jdk6.27 installed on my windows 7 machine.

Everytime I try to start server it gives me the aforesaid error. How do I resolve this ?

"error listener start" it's a common error when you want to deploy an application in tomcat:
it occurs when an exception is thrown in the contextInitialized method of a ServletContextListener

In your web application’s WEB-INF/classes folder you can create a logging.properties file with the following content:
<code>
org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].level = INFO
org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].handlers = java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler
</code>

now please come back with the stacktrace.

Thanks for the suggestion !

Doing this I came across following findings.

I was using tomcat version 6.0.33 which uses servlet-api-2.5

I switched to tomcat version 7.0.21 that uses servlet-api-3.0 and my application works fine now.
