I'm sorry if this was posted before but I have no idea about german so if anybody is able to help me in english I would much apreciate it.
I have a problem with the tomcat addon in XAMPP. The thing is that I am unable to enter the tomcat manager in order to deploy/undeploy applications.
When I try to do that, I get the following error:
javax.servlet.ServletException:

I think it's a matter of the classpath but i've tried tons of combinations and I always get the same error.
I can't understand what the hell is going on and I can't find any documentation to solve this problem.
Well, I didn't tell this but I think it's important: My XAMPP distribution is 1.5 and my OS is windows XP.
Thank you very much!!
