jakarta-3.2.1 is a 2.2 servlet engine. The web.dtd file that ships with it is
the 2.2 DTD as it is missing 2.3 elements like: filter, filter-mapping, listener,
and resource-env-ref. Both 2.2 and 2.3 use a web.xml descriptor to describe
the web application so you need to use it.

Subject: [JBoss-user] Dumb newbie confusion over web.xml


Hi,

Apologies for having such a basic problem but I've got myself kinda confused.

I have some idea that under Servlets 2.3 web.xml has most of the elements required to 
support J2EE 1.3. The web.dtd files I've found
within the JBoss/Tomcat download I made earlier in the week seem to have most of the 
elements I would expect for full J2EE 1.3
support.

However, when I look at the bundled Tomcat 3.2.1 docs they talk about supporting 
Servlets 2.2, not 2.3. Also, when I search through
the jboss archives I find references to jboss-web.xml. I can find no reference to this 
file in the download I made or in the on-line
docs.

Can anyone briefly describe what is going on here because I'm missing the point. 
Should I just be using web.xml, and if so, is
Tomcat 3.2.1 compliant with Servlets 2.3 ?

Many thanks,
Keith Thomas
