Today I was trying to run a web app written elsewhere. Everything came pre-built, and Tomcat was included. Should be a piece of cake, eh?
SEVERE: Error filterStart
Googling that found a lot of people with this problem, each with a different resolution.

The real problem is that the error message means nothing. Sadly, this is normal. Everything that requires XML configuration (Tomcat, JBoss, Swing, Struts, etc. etc. etc.) will fail if you don't know all its arcane configuration rules, and give you an error that doesn't tell you what the problem is so you can't fix it.

When your software goes wrong, tell me what the problem is. Don't join the useless, time wasting, exasperating tidal wave of incomprehensible dross.

So, the upshot of this is that I shall never find out if Hammurapi is any use.
