Hi, I'm new to this, and quickly going blind looking at a web.xml.
When I start tomcat I get the following error message during start-up: Starting service Tomcat-Standalone Apache Tomcat/4.1.24 Jul 3, 2003 8:09:11 AM org.apache.commons.digester.Digester error SEVERE: Parse Error at line 34 column 11: The content of element type "web-app" must match "(icon?,display-name?,description?,distributable?,context- param*,filter*,filter-mapping*,listener*,servlet*,servlet-mapping*,session-conf ig?,mime-mapping*,welcome-file-list?,error-page*,taglib*,resource-env-ref*,reso urce-ref*,security-constraint*,login-config?,security-role*,env-entry*,ejb-ref* ,ejb-local-ref*)". org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The content of element type "web-app" must match "(icon?,display-name?,description?,distributable?,context-param*,filter*, filter-mapping*,listener*,servlet*,servlet-mapping*,session-config?,mime-mappin g*,welcome-file-list?,error-page*,taglib*,resource-env-ref*,resource-ref*,secur ity-constraint*,login-config?,security-role*,env-entry*,ejb-ref*,ejb-local-ref* )". The file in questions is: -------------top of file (not in xml) <?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> <servlet> <servlet-name> HelloWorld </servlet-name> <servlet-class> HelloWorld </servlet-class> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name> HelloWorld </servlet-name> <url-pattern> /HelloWorld </url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> <servlet> <servlet-name> HelloServlet </servlet-name> <servlet-class> HelloServlet </servlet-class> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name> HelloServlet </servlet-name> <url-pattern> /HelloServlet </url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> <servlet> <servlet-name> IntsServlet </servlet-name> <servlet-class> IntsServlet </servlet-class> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name> IntsServlet </servlet-name> <url-pattern> /IntsServlet </url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> </web-app> --------------------- end of file (not in xml) Now the file is 34 lines long and the 11th column is after the p> and is an end of line (same problem if it's a blank). If I add or delete blank line, the line number on the error changes, so I have the problem file. I've been staring at it for 8 hours and don't see anything wrong, will some xml expert take a look and see what I'm doing wrong??
