The online web.xml validator at http://www.mslinn.com/sites/tomcat catches
this error.
>> Also, just a note about the web.xml doc. I looked at one or two

>> One must put all the <servlet> entries at the beginning of the xml

>The DTDs actually do state the ordering requirement.

>Up near the top of the DTD, do you see the line that starts:
>
> <!ELEMENT webapp (icon?, display-name?, description?, ...
>
>and so on? That line is stating that the optional <icon> element goes
>first, followed by the optional <display-name> element, and so on. The
>asterisk after entries like "servlet*" and "servlet-mapping*" state that
>you can have zero or more of these elements, but they all have to appear
>at that point in the XML file.
