I put this in 1.x as a target. Does this need to be a 1.0 item?

---------------------------------------
yes, this area needs a thorough review to make sure we are validating pre-j2ee
1.4 descriptors properly before converting them to j2ee 1.4 descriptors. I
believe there are still quite a few unvalidated cases.
xmlbeans magic allows us to accept some invalid deployment descriptors

Key: GERONIMO-383
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-383
Project: Geronimo
Type: Bug
Components: deployment
Versions: 1.0-M2
Reporter: David Jencks
Assignee: David Jencks
Fix For: 1.x
The element reordering and other xmlbeans magic we do to convert pre-1.4
deployment descriptors to 1.4 versions can have the unintended side effect of
converting invalid 1.4 descriptors to valid ones. This has been fixed in
SchemaConversionUtils.conv
ertToServletSchema for servlet 1.3 web.xml. We should apply this same fix of
checking for namespace before conversion to other modules (ejb etc) and extend
the checking to:
1. look for the DOCTYPE using xmlbeans
2. converting to a made-up namespace for that dtd
3. validating against xmlbeans objects for the schema corresponding to the dtd.
