Hi Keith, It also happened to me. To solve that I had to add some "DTD properties" (not sure if it can be called this way) to the <web-app> tag in web.xml, like this:
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd"; version="2.4"> . . . </web-app> Hope that helps...
