You can download the Servlet specs here: <http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/download.html>
Tomcat 3.2.x implements the Servlet 2.2 spec. The conf/web.xml uses the same syntax as what would be used in a WEB-INF/web.xml, so you can cut and paste if you wish. An important point to remember is that the sequence of elements must occur in the order shown in the DTD. Thus, the declaration in web.dtd: <!ELEMENT web-app (icon?, display-name?, description?, distributable?, context-param*, servlet*, servlet-mapping*, session-config?, mime-mapping*, welcome-file-list?, error-page*, taglib*, resource-ref*, security-constraint*, login-config?, security-role*, env-entry*, ejb-ref*)> means that the icon element must precede the display-name element, which must precede the description element, etc. Also, all servlet elements would come before any serlvet-mapping elements. Tomcat 3.2.x won't complain if you get them out of order since it doesn't validate the web.xml. However, use of a custom tag will trigger an error since it does valid when reading the web.xml for taglib elements. Both Tomcat 3.3 and Tomcat 4.x validate web.xml's during startup so you learn of the problem sooner.
