Tomcat should emit a parse error during deployment / startup of your application something like
"SEVERE [localhost-startStop-1] org.apache.tomcat.util.descriptor.web.WebXmlParser.parseWebXml Parse error in application web.xml" However the Tomcat server itself will continue to load and run. It just that your webapp alone will failed to deploy. On Tue, Aug 1, 2017 at 6:39 AM, Christoph Kukulies <k...@kukulies.org> wrote: > Argh. I solved it.
