Jon,
  Thanks for taking the time to reply yes after a few hours of reading some
of the code and error logs I found that the Sun App Server has almost no
perms set for applications.  Which is good for security but not great for a
newbie.  So I have hacked my way to this final issue which I searched
through the mailing list and google all last night to no avail.  It seems to
be a known issue but I really can't seem to resolve it.  This one doesn't
seem to be a permission issue although I still don't understand exactly
which XML config it can't real as there are a few XML docs.  Has anyone seen
this error again I don't need my hand held here just some insight.  Thanks
again Jon for helping, in trade I moved your top post :). Thanks in advance!
