aha!! Ok, I looked at the xml dtd declaration at the top... the error was that my web.xml said
"http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_2.dtd" when it should be 2.3 ! I compared my web.xml with the web.xml file from the example apps and saw the discrepancy. That makes all the difference in the world. mark -----Original Message----- From: Shapira, Yoav [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 14, 2003 11:24 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: SAX Exception Howdy, Is your web.xml valid according to the Servlet Specification v2.3 DTD?
