I'm using 4.1.3 and my web.xml has 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">
Perhaps you can change it to that and give it a try? -----Original Message----- From: Deshmukh, JAYDEEP (IT) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 11, 2006 2:49 PM To: users@tomcat.apache.org Subject: Exception at Tomcat 4.3.1 startup Hi All, I get the following exception when I try to startup tomcat 4.3.1. I checked out some forums and apparently, its because I am using version 2.3 of web-app instead of 2.4 and it is suggest that I use Tomcat 5.x to resolve this. Thing is I am not in a position to switch over Tomcat 5.x due to organizational constraints.
