SAXParseException on catalina.sh run
I'm getting the following error when I run 'catalina.sh run'. It'll happen whether I say /path/to/catalina.sh or ./ or just catalina.sh. another user with nearly identical server.xml and web.xml doesn't get the error (the only differences between our files are port numbers and user names) Any ideas? I'm pretty sure the errors are referring to web.xml, and I can make it have other errors, but can't get rid of this one, even though someone else w/ the same file won't have a problem.. something in my env??! --error-- Starting service Tomcat-Standalone Apache Tomcat/4.0.3 PARSE error at line 1 column 1 org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The markup in the document preceding the root element must be well-formed.

Re: SAXParseException on catalina.sh run
The XML parser in Tomcat 4.0.3 requires STRICT adherence to XML standards. I struggled for a while myself before I discovered that XML sub-elements must appear in the SAME ORDER as they are listed in the DTD. That was news to me, because I had never seen a parser that required it. So... make sure your XML is absolutely correct. Your parse error is coming at line 1 column 1 so make sure your web.xml starts with ?xml version=1.0 encoding=ISO-8859-1? and then make sure your !DOCTYPE tag is is exactly right. One wrong letter will screw it up. Note that server.xml does not need the opening ?xml or !DOCTYPE tags, but web.xml does. - Original Message - From: Daryn Nakhuda [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 28, 2002 4:07 AM Subject: SAXParseException on catalina.sh run I'm getting the following error when I run 'catalina.sh run'.

Re: SAXParseException on catalina.sh run
The odd thing is that another tomcat server running on the same box with a virtually identical (except port numbers and user names) web.xml file doesn't complain at all. That's why I was wondering if it was something in my environment screwing it up? my first six lines (exactly): --- ?xml version=1.0 encoding=ISO-8859-1? !DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC -//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.2//EN http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2.2.dtd; web-app -- I've tried it both with and without the ?xml line since the other guy's works without it.. any other ideas? can I turn up the debugging?
