system:winXP
eclipse version:
Version: 2.1.2
Build id: 200311030802
– fresh installation [yes]
– other plug-in: xmlBuddy (free version)
MyEclipse version:
Version: 2.6.200
Build id: 200312091200-2.7-RC1
Eclipse JDK version: 1.4.2 (java -version)
Application server jrun4 JDK version: 1.4.2

step:
MyEclipse say that my web.xml file is wrong if I put this setting:

<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>index.htm</welcome-file>
<welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>

I get an error that welcome-file-list is not contain in web-app
I think is a validation problem with dtd.

Errata corrige:
The problem is when I use “welcome-file-list” or “session -config” tags
<session-config>
<session-timeout>30</session-timeout>
</session-config>

arnor,
I’m guessing that the reason you are getting errors is because of your ordering. The order that tags appear in the web.xml file is very important, for example, you cannot have a taglib element before a welcome-file-list element.

The autocomplete is order-sensative, so it should take care of this for you if you used it to perform the completions. Also, when you read the error message, it should say something like:
“File contents must match (web-app (servlets)(…..))”

you can eyeball the ordering of the elemnts by reading that error messsage. For example, I have my session-config ontop of my welcome-file-list, and they are both at the bottom of the file directly above my taglib elements, and this does not create a validation error.

Also make sure that the XML file is being opened with our XML editor, its named “XML Editor” (this will be fixed in 2.7 GA).
