Parsing error on web.xml 4.0b5

[Vernon Wu]

After I deploy my small application and start Tomcat version 4.0 beta 5, I get the following error:

The web.xml is a small one as the followings.

 

<web-app>

    <display-name>....</display-name>
    <description> ....<servlet>
        <servlet-name>ControllerServlet</servlet-name>
        <display-name>CentralServlet</display-name>
        <servlet-class>....ControllerServlet</servlet-class>
    </servlet>
    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>ControllerServlet</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/controller/*</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
 

...

</web-app>

 

I can't see any problem. It works fine on 3.x. Anything needs to been done on 4.0?

 

Thanks in advance.
