Hi,
I think this is a bug! I’m trying to get some hands-on of Servlet/JSP development and am using myeclipse as my IDE for that. I’m running through some example from the book Weblogic Server Bible. Myeclipse reports various entries into Web.xml as I progress as errors although I see no reason why that should be.
First off – adding an <welcome-file-list> entry. I had to move this entry further down the web.xml file to get myeclipse to accept it.
Next <login-config> behaved the same.
And finally adding <security-constraint> entries put the file permanently into error. No moving the entries around brought any relief this time.
I quite certain that I haven’t made any typing errors – I’ve been over everything pretty thoroughly. I’m using myeclipse v. 2.6.3. The error reported is always that the <web-app> element should contain content of the type following, where the following is a list of valid elements.
Hope this is enough info for you.
Jamie

Jame,

1) Can you provide more context such as OS, versions of Eclipse and MyEclipse, other plugins installed?

2) Can you send me a copy of your problematic webl.xml file for further research? Send it to support@genuitec.com to my attention.

Jamie,

I responded by email. It turns out that your web.xml did not conform to the spec and the XML validator is functioning properly.

Thank you Michael,

so it was just a beginner’s mistake then? Still it’s definately good to know what was causing the problem.

I adjusted the order of elements and now everything is ‘good to go’!

Keep up the good work.

Jamie
