Re: Completely unhelpful NullPointerException in spring FrameworkServlet

After  much bad luck, I found some Bean instantiation error in the tomcat log file. That fixed it.

Importance: High

I'm getting the below completely unhelpful NullPointerException during tomcat startup. I just don't know where would I start looking at - java classes, jsp files, spring definitions, or ?
Can someone throw some light please.

- Servlet.service() for servlet arcotadmin threw exception
