java.util.zip.ZipException: incomplete literal/length tree

I have this problem when I try to deploy my webapp(name:auditadmin.war) on tomcat 5.05.

I did the following:auditadmin.war was already deployed & working fine.Then I edited one jsp page rebuilt it using ant & deployed the new war file.Till then I am getting the error mentioned below.

The stack trace is :

Can anyone please help me out?

The API says that the ZipException gets thrown because of an error in the zip format. So my guess would be that something went wrong with building the war. I don't think that the edit of the file had a direct influence. Are you sure you used the same build script?

Your ZIP/WAR/EAR/JAR file is corrupted.
