Hi, have a look at the dtd for web.xml...
Lately I learned in a similar way that it is not allowed (according to the dtd) to have something like: <servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet> <servlet-mapping> somehow this would be logic: define the servlet and its mappings, then define the next servlet... The official web.xml-dtd requires: <servlet> <servlet> <servlet-mapping> ... ==> define all servlets, then define all mappings... some servlet-engines do not validate this, but accept the erroneous format as well. Weblogic is always rather itchy about these kind of specs... hope this helps Alexander Jesse -----Original Message----- From: Jacob Marcus [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Freitag, 11.

When the war file is deployed, the weblogic server is not starting up properly. When the weblogic server is started it gives an xml parser exception and says <servlet> attribute is not expected under web-app. My war file works fine in Tomcat. What could be wrong? Please help. The stacktrace is as follows. org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Element "web-app" does not allow "servlet" here. at com.sun.xml.parser.Parser.error(Parser.java:2775) at com.sun.xml.parser.ValidatingParser$ChildrenValidator.consume (Validat ingParser.java:310) at com.sun.xml.parser.Parser.maybeElement(Parser.java:1280) at com.sun.xml.parser.Parser.content(Parser.java:1498) at com.sun.xml.parser.Parser.maybeElement(Parser.java:1399) at com.sun.xml.parser.Parser.parseInternal(Parser.java:491) at com.sun.xml.parser.Parser.parse(Parser.java:283) at weblogic.xml.dom.SunDOMParser.getDocument (SunDOMParser.java:69) at weblogic.xml.dom.DOMParser.getDocument(DOMParser.java:102) at weblogic.servlet.internal.dd.DescriptorLoader.<init> (DescriptorLoader .java:134) at weblogic.t3.srvr.HttpServer.loadWARContext (HttpServer.java:627) at weblogic.t3.srvr.HttpServer.initServletContexts (HttpServer.java, Comp iled Code) at weblogic.t3.srvr.HttpServer.start(HttpServer.java:418) at weblogic.t3.srvr.T3Srvr.start(T3Srvr.java, Compiled Code) at weblogic.t3.srvr.T3Srvr.main(T3Srvr.java:827) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Native Method) at weblogic.Server.startServerDynamically(Server.java:99) at weblogic.Server.main(Server.java:65) at weblogic.Server.main(Server.java:55) thanks, Jacob -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
