I’m getting a weird error in my web.xml. Eclipse shows the following message in the task box:
Error The markup declarations contained or pointed to by the document type declaration must be well-formed. web.xml mpi/web/WEB-INF line 1

here’s the web.xml in question:

<?xml version=”1.0″ ?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC
“-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN”
“http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_3.dtd”&gt;

<web-app>

</web-app>

I have no idea why it complains about my web.xml is there anything wrong with it?

[Martin_Kersten]

Try to select an encoding within the xml tag:

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>

I think this will do it. If not keep on complaining 😉 Maybe you can also create a new WEB project and check the web.xml and try to substitute some elements of it until it stops/starts complaining.

Hope this helps,

Change your document declaration to use the URI below. The URI you specified is obsolete.

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

For fun click this link http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_3.dtd.

Thanks Martin. I followed your lead and diff’ed w/ the web.xml of a working helloworld webapp project’s web.xml.

Good luck.
