The requirement element ordering is specified by the DTD for web application deployment
descriptors, which is (among other places) in the servlet specification -- available
at:
http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/download.html
or in file $CATALINA_HOME/conf/web_22.dtd (for Servlet 2.2)
$CATALINA_HOME/conf/web_23.dtd (for Servlet 2.3).
Tomcat 3.2.1 lets you get away with out-of-order elements because it does not use a
validating XML parser when reading web.xml files. Tomcat 4.0 is pickier, and uses a
validating parser, to help you be sure that your web.xml file will be portable to other
containers.
In your particular scenario, you must have put some element before your
<session-config>
that is supposed to be *after* <session-config>. You need to rearrange things in order
for it to work.
