Subject: DOCTYPE wrong yet still
i just discovered that my DOCTYPE points to an old link:
http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_3.dtd
if you go there you will see a message with the correct link:
http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd
however, my app still works, and tomcat didn't complain, nor did it
warn me..
why does to
