Hi, again. I don't really think it makes any difference to this application, but I'm using J2SE, not J2EE. Though I am, of course, using a web.xml file for my web application, nothing in this file need reference the error page. At least, that was the case with version 2.3 of the servlet API under Tomcat 4.1, since the error page worked faultlessly under that. Is 2.4 more restrictive? Is an error-page tag now mandatory? Is this change documented? Since I currently have only servlet and servlet-mapping tags in my web.xml, can I simply place the tag where I wish?
Sorry for the proliferation of fairly trivial questions. Thanks in anticipation. Cheers.

It's a requirement that comes from validating the web.xml against a DTD -- not anything that Tomcat itself requires. In the servlet 2.4 spec, they moved to valdating against a schema so order no longer matters. --David Ian van der Neut wrote: >On Tue, 1 Mar 2005 10:41:36 +0100, Ian van der Neut <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >wrote: > > >>On Tue, 01 Mar 2005 10:32:42 +0100, Trond G.
