web.xml dtd

[clinton]

In konakart (client) 2.2.07, the top of the web.xml looks like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.2//EN"
  "http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_2.dtd">;
<web-app>
   <display-name>KonaKart</display-name>
    <listener>
        <listener-class>org.apache.axis.transport.http.AxisHTTPSessionListener</listener-class>
    </listener>
...

This is a problem because the <listener> element is only defined in the 2.3 dtd. When we ran this under Glassfish, it generated parsing errors and refused to deploy the konakart app.

Altering the web.xml to use the following dtd solved the parsing error:

<!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">;

If your web.xml is validated you might run into a similar issue...

Thanks Clinton,

Looks like our deployed Tomcat is not validating the web.xml. We'll update this for all future releases.
