[Chameleon] Chameleon 1.99 Beta 2 - CWC default context not r ecognized

[Jeff McKenna]

Can u verify that in cwc2.xml that you have the following paths set 
correctly?:

     <context-param>
         <param-name>default_context</param-name>
         <param-value>world_context.xml</param-value>
         <description>Default map context to load when starting this 
application</description>
     </context-param>

     <context-param>
         <param-name>context_root</param-name>
         <param-value>/ms4w/apps/chameleon/cwc2/contexts/</param-value>
         <description>Absolute root path to context files. All context 
should be in that folder (or sub folder).</description>
     </context-param>
