Because, if I remember correctly from a previous message on the list, Tomcat
does not validate web.xml files. (Anyone care to confirm this?)

Subject: DOCTYPE wrong yet still works, why?

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 tomcat still understand my web.xml (or does it?) when the dtd
points to something that is not a dtd?
