    Hello,

    I'm getting the following error when trying to start Apache Tomcat.The
    version shows up in the snapshot. I can't figure out why this is
    happening. It is aparently the <context-param> tag. If I remove it
    tomcat starts properly. I have pasted web.xml below with the error.

    WEB.XML
    ?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

    <!DOCTYPE web-app
        PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"
        "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">

    <web-app>
    <servlet>
            <servlet-name>rooms</servlet-name>
            <servlet-class>ListRooms</servlet-class>
    </servlet>

    <context-param>
            <param-name>listroom_path</param-name>
            <param-value>context_chat</param-value>
    </context-param>
    </web-app>

    ERROR:
    Starting service Tomcat-Standalone
    Apache Tomcat/4.0.5
    PARSE error at line 17 column 11

    Also posting a previous question which went unanswered:

    In the case of servlets, if the SingleThreadModel interface is "NOT"
    implemented, can we assume that the container will create only one
    Instance of the servlet ?? Or is this container dependent.

    Thanks in advance,

    Devu.
