Gia sou patriwti! I am grateful for your help. Unfortunately I get an XML validation error when I copy that code in my application's web.xml
The content of element type "web-app" must match "(icon?,display-name?,description?,distributable?,context-param*,servlet*,se rvlet-mapping*,session-config?,mime-mapping*,welcome-file-list?,error-page*, taglib*,resource-ref*,security-constraint*,login-config?,security-role*,env- entry*,ejb-ref*)". [151] here is the beginning of my xml document. <!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.2//EN" "http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_2.dtd"> Any ideas?
