Tomcat Server fails to start

Question

Problem:

When I try to add following code to context.xml of Tomcat 7 It gives this error.

(NOTE: I'm adding this code from inside the Eclipse)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Context>

<!-- Default set of monitored resources -->
<WatchedResource>WEB-INF/web.xml</WatchedResource>

<Resource
    name="jdbc/UsersDB"
    auth="Container"
    type="javax.sql.DataSource"
    maxActive="100"
    maxIdle="30"
    maxWait="10000"
    driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
    url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/usersDB"
    username="root"
    password="secret"
/>
</Context>

Error:

Could not load the Tomcat server configuration at \Servers\Tomcat v7.0 Server at localhost-config. The configuration may be corrupt or incomplete. Element type "Resource" must be followed by either attribute specifications, ">" or "/>".

And when I remove this code and save context.xml , Server starts successfully without doing anything (Refreshing and all).

What I have tried:

Referred This question: publishing failed with multiple errors eclipse

Tried closing Eclipse and opening again.
Tried closing and opening peoject again.

Nothing is working.

What should I try Now?

UPDATE:

Tomcat server started successfully. I just typed everything in context.xml rather than copy paste the code. It could be some encoding problem I guess in copy pasting the code directly into eclipse file.

can you post the whole context.xml here – WannaBeGeek Aug 01 '15 at 12:42 — WannaBeGeek, Aug 01 '15 at 12:42

This is how it should look . Resource should be properly enclosed within the Context. Like:

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <Context antiJARLocking="true" path="/webAppName">

  <Resource
    name="jdbc/UsersDB"
    auth="Container"
    type="javax.sql.DataSource"
    maxActive="100"
    maxIdle="30"
    maxWait="10000"
    driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
    url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/usersDB"
    username="root"
    password="secret" />

    </Context>

Edited my question.. It shows whole code in context.xml – Vikas Agrawal Aug 01 '15 at 14:17
Actually the same code works very well on my other computer. I tried making the whole project on my desktop pc and this is happening... – Vikas Agrawal Aug 01 '15 at 14:21
It should be " " at the end not . Check If this is the issue in your code . – WannaBeGeek Aug 01 '15 at 15:45
Sorry, It is already and not . I updated the code. – Vikas Agrawal Aug 02 '15 at 12:01

I have similar thing working. All the difference - I have one single row, not multiple lines like you have. Try it in a single row. Plus before you copy it to eclipse, try copy it to notepad, or another simple editor to remove invalid chars.

This same thing is working on my laptop and denying to work on my PC. and just this problem is occured. everything else shows no error. – Vikas Agrawal Aug 01 '15 at 14:23
It is possible, that you saved this file with some different encoding. It may depend on tools, that you used to copy-paste the file content or the way you saved the file. I suggest to ensure, that you save file in ASCII format. Open it with notepad, instead of eclipse and save it as ascii file. – Vladimir Nabokov Aug 01 '15 at 17:28
I don't know where that file is located in my PC because the directory I provided for the tomcat server was not changed when I make change inside eclipse. So I suppose eclipse make his own copy of the server and I don't know where it is. I thought this could be the problem so I just manually typed everything rather than copy paste it, and It worked! Thanks for your reply :D – Vikas Agrawal Aug 02 '15 at 12:06
