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

I don't think so. I doubt very many people will complain if we successfully deploy their app even if it has a broken pre-j2ee-1.4 deployment descriptor.

---------------------------------------
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.
