-----Original Message----- From: Shapira, Yoav Tomcat will complain if it finds errors it can't deal with. We encourage people to use an independent tool, such as XMLSpy or one of the free online variants, to validate any all XML configuration files. That applies to web.xml as well.
Even valid files can be in error though? I was missing one block, in WEB-INF/web.xml, and it bombed horrendously, despite being valid to the DTD. I had <servlet-mapping> without the corresponding <servlet> No DTD will catch that. Nor XSD schema. Perhaps schematron validation could be used to provide improved validation in some future version? regards DaveP -- DISCLAIMER: NOTICE: The information contained in this email and any attachments is confidential and may be privileged.
