Parse error in application web.xml

[Lott, Carey]

Instead of depending on the invoker servlet, I have added our servlets to
the web.xml file inside of the app's WEB-INF directory. However, now I am
getting the following error when I try to start tomcat with the changed
web.xml:

2003-01-17 13:07:51 ContextConfig[/esd] Parse error in application web.xml
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The content of element type "web-app" must
match
"(icon?,display-name?,description?,distributable?,context-param*,filter*,fil
ter-mapping*,listener*,servlet*,servlet-mapping*,session-config?,mime-mappin
g*,welcome-file-list?,error-page*,taglib*,resource-env-ref*,resource-ref*,se
curity-constraint*,login-config?,security-role*,env-entry*,ejb-ref*,ejb-loca
l-ref*)".

I have validated the web.xml file using IE. No errors are apparent. The
file displays properly in the browser. Can somebody look at the web.xml,
and see what I am missing? I know it has to be something really easy that I
am overlooking.

Thanks in advance for the Help

Put all <servlet> tags together and then all <servlet-mapping> tags
together AFTER the <servlet> tags.

You may have viewed the file using IE, not validated it ;) ;)

IE would not check against the scheme. The error reported suggests you
have elements in the wrong order. It tells you what the right order is.
For example, <welcome-file-list> cannot come before <servlet>.

Reorganize your web.xml file according to the spec, i.e. in the order
shown above, and the error will go away.

That was it. Thanks
I placed welcome-file-list element at the bottom and then grouped all of the
servlet elements together and underneath it all of the servlet-mapping
elements. It finally started up with out an error.

Thanks Again. If anybody is interested below is my corrected version.
