Well...

	I had a problem with the apps in $TOMCATHOME/webapps automatically
starting with the server. The problem was I did not want them to start ever.
First I tried commenting out this line in the server.xml file.

<ContextInterceptor className="org.apache.tomcat.context.AutoSetup" />

	This results in the following error when trying to start tomcat.

HANDLER THREAD PROBLEM: java.lang.NullPointerException
java.lang.NullPointerException

        at org.apache.tomcat.util.ThreadPool$ControlRunnable.run(Compiled
Code)
        at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:479)

	Then I tried removing the apps from the webapps directory and the
server would no longer run my app at server.domain.com/admin/index.jsp and
the following error was encountered.

	Any ideas?
