Everything is set up according to the instructions, but when I go to start the Tomcat server I get the following exceptions: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl. java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAcces sorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:585) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.start(Bootstrap.java:275) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java:413) Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.await(Catalina.java:600) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.start(Catalina.java:560) ... 6 more If I remove the JNDI resource element that creates jdbc/LiferayPool, the server will start successfully, but the portal application throws up a ton of exceptions (obviously). Can anybody tell me why adding the element shown below to my Context element in server.xml would cause Tomcat to freak out? I have also tried setting up the resource in the GlobalNamingResources area, and it still causes Tomcat to fail to start.
