Description From 2005-03-30 14:50:03 
If there's a client-config.wsdd file (that's different from the one that webmds
uses) in the current directory that tomcat is started from, webmds may throw an
exception when trying to read its configuration files.

Workaround:  when starting tomcat, be sure you're in a directory that doesn't
include a client-config.wsdd file (in other words, don't start tomcat from
$GLOBUS_LOCATION).

Added code to CVS to detect this condition and display a meaningful error
message (so it still won't work if you start it from the wrong directory, but
it will at least tell you what's wrong and how to fix it instead of throwing a
confusing exception).
