Ahhhhh... That did it. Where can I get a hold of the "official" DTD? Can I just puke that URL into IE's location bar to download it?

If you move your welcome-file-list after the servlet-mapping, it should work ok. You can find the correct order by reading the DTD at the URL in the DOCTYPE, but here it is for convenience: <!ELEMENT web-app (icon?, display-name?, description?, distributable?, context-param*, filter*, filter-mapping*, listener*, servlet*, servlet-mapping*, session-config?, mime-mapping*, welcome-file-list?, error-page*, taglib*, resource-env-ref*, resource-ref*, security-constraint*, login-config?, security-role*, env-entry*, ejb-ref*, ejb-local-ref*)> -- Tim Moore / Blackboard Inc. / Software Engineer 1899 L Street, NW / 5th Floor / Washington, DC 20036 Phone 202-463-4860 ext. 258 / Fax 202-463-4863 > -----Original Message----- > From: Johnson, Garrett [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, December 09, 2002 7:03 PM > To: 'Tomcat Users List' > Subject: Error with THIS web.xml file: > > > This is my web.xml file: > > <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> > > <!DOCTYPE web-app > PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN" > "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd";> > > <web-app> > > <display-name>Carpool Database</display-name> > <description>Utility to mitigate the impact of the > impending transit strike</description> > > <welcome-file-list> > <welcome-file>start.jsp</welcome-file> > <welcome-file>start.html</welcome-file> > <welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file> > <welcome-file>index.htm</welcome-file> > <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file> > </welcome-file-list> > > <servlet> > <servlet-name>DisplayServlet</servlet-name> > <display-name>DisplayServlet</display-name> > <servlet-class>DisplayServlet</servlet-class> > </servlet> > > <servlet-mapping> > <servlet-name>DisplayServlet</servlet-name> > <url-pattern>/DisplayServlet</url-pattern> > </servlet-mapping> > > </web-app> > > For the life of me, I can't figure out why there's a problem, > but Tomcat refuses to parse this!
