1. The web.xml file and its behavior are defined in the Servlet Specification. Some random instructions on the net have to be used carefully. 2. The web.xml file is the one in your web application (WEB-INF/web.xml). The /conf/web.xml file provides defaults for all web applications, and SHOULD not be edited. (The /conf/context.xml should not be exited as well. That is another frequent error.). Those defaults are merged with the web.xml file of your web application using merging rules defined in the Servlet Specification. There is an option, "logEffectiveWebXml" [1] that turns on logging of the merged web.xml file. 3. Beware of typos. The tag "</web-recource-collection>" is misspelled. There is an option, "xmlValidation" [1] that turns on automatic validation of web.xml against the XML schema specified in that file. (Personally, I usually run with org.apache.catalina.STRICT_SERVLET_COMPLIANCE=true and that turns "xmlValidation" on as well). 4. Top-posting is bad.
