[java_user_here]

Hi,
Im using Eclipse IDE and have MyEclipse plugin. I have created a J2EE project and when I have more than one entry for servlet in web.xml im getting this following error.
The content of element type “web-app” must match (icon?,display-name?,description?,distributable?,context-param*,filter*,filter-mapping*,listener*,servlet*,servlet-mapping*,session-config?,mime-mapping*,welcome-file-list?,error-page*,taglib*,resource-env-ref*,resource-ref*,security-constraint*,login-config?,security-role*,env-entry*,ejb-ref*,ejb-local-ref*)
If I remove all the servlet entry but one this error is not shown 🙁 . Any suggesstions why this is happening.

Yes, you’re not conforming to the DTD (http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd). Please give it a look and check out the required elements and
the order mandated in the file.

Hi,
This issue is resovled. Previously I was using Tomcat 3 and my web.xml with servlet looks like this <servlet></servlet>
<servlet-mapping></servlet-mapping>
<servlet></servlet>
<servlet-mapping></servlet-mapping>
which was not throwing the error since it was not validating the xml. But with Tomcat4 the web.xml is validated against the DTD which throws the above error. To resolve the problem I have moved all the servlet tags following by servlet-mapping tags as below
<servlet></servlet>
<servlet></servlet>
<servlet-mapping></servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping></servlet-mapping>

Regards,
Sun.
