Tomcat 3.3.1 can only use WEB.XML file that uses the servlet 2.2 dtd.
To be more clear the top of your web.xml file should contain the following:
<!DOCTYPE web-app
PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.2//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_2.dtd";>
The web-apps_2_2.dtd in the url above is the file that basically describes
how the web.xml should be formatted.
Tomcat 3.3.1 implements the Servlet 2.2 API and so does not understand the
web-app_2.3.dtd.
Hope this sheds some light on the problem.
Nathan.
