Solved - as discussed here....
Continuing:
http://www.nabble.com/possible-logging-issue...-to18859524.htmlC:\Documents and Settings\Owner\.netbeans\6.1\apache-tomcat-6.0.16_base\conf\tomcat-users.xml
does not match
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache Tomcat 6.0.16\conf\tomcat-users.xml
the second path is where I was told to look by everything I could find, the first one has pre-pended path ... something which raises difficulties because of shell issues ( for Win users ) and the matter of entire projects and other unseen information resisting tools and techniques available to myUnderstanding. (humor)
The password in the 'hidden' dot netbeans file is one I have not seen before. First attempt will be to make clear_path file match the hidden file and sync Tools/servers:account_name/password in ide.
..... issue started on 'access denied' on C:\Documents and Settings\All Users from application code and consequent blunder-ridden effort to fix the matter.
