Did you create the file on Windows? It looks like your deploying on Unix, so maybe there are some hidden characters in the file that aren't Unix friendly. Open the file and vi and you should be able to see if there are hidden characters.

I guess it should be the one in simplest.war, the archive that I have created , since the demo portlets are being deployed correctly. The one in simplest.war is as follows :- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd";> <web-app> <display-name>Simplest</display-name> <description>The world's simplest portlet</description> </web-app> This is the same as has been listed on the tutorial site.
