geoserver-1.3.4-war file not deploying on Solaris/Tomcat 5.5.17 - seems to have been built on a PC - has PC formatted path in web.xml for data file - and xml parsing errors
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: GEOS-714
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-714
             Project: GeoServer
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.3.4
         Environment: Sparc/Solaris 9, Tomcat 5.5.17, java "1.4.2_08"
            Reporter: Jim Riley
         Assigned To: dblasby
             Fix For: 1.3.x

Installation of WAR file not at all portable and straightforward as it should be.

PC formatted path info for GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR in web.xml see tomcat log entry:

Sep 21, 2006 2:55:46 PM org.vfny.geoserver.global.xml.XMLConfigWriter$WriterUtils initFile
SEVERE: Attempting to create file:/usr/local/apache-tomcat/D:\Java\Geoserver\gs1.3\server\geoserver\data_dir/services.xml

Once I figured out that I needed to edit the geoserver web.xml to fix this malformed path, the geoserver webapp would still not run, with errors in the tomcat log like:

Sep 21, 2006 3:13:59 PM org.vfny.geoserver.global.xml.ReaderUtils loadConfig
