Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

["Sanjay Vivek" <>]

Hi everyone,

I keep getting the exceptions shown below when I try to install Grouper
1.3.0 UI on both Windows and Unix.It appears that web.xml is not being
created and so Tomcat is not loading the UI. Has anyone else come across
these exceptions? Any pointers on how to solve this would be very
helpful. Cheers.

Regards
