I just dealt with this upgrading from JBoss with Tomcat 3 to Tomcat 4. Sax parsing of DTD 2.3 requires that the elements in your web.xml be in the order it's showing you in the error message:
icon?,display-name?,description?,distributable?,context-param*,filter*,filte r-mapping*,listener*,servlet*,servlet-mapping*,session-config?,mime-mapping* ,welcome-file-list?,error-page*,taglib*,resource-env-ref*,resource-ref*,secu rity-constraint*,login-config?,security-role*,env-entry*,ejb-ref*,ejb-local- ref* Re-arrange them and it will eliminate this error. This error should be explained a lot more clearly, what it says here too ambiguous.
