I had recently a message warning in our
server (Weblogic) maybe
you got the same problem:

I have web.xml (deployment descriptor..) .



Which is giving me an error :::

"The markup declarations contained or pointed to by the document type
declaration must be well-formed."



Can anyone tell hat is the problem???

web.xml is a xml  file ok,that means xml file  should
follow the rules, 1.like every opening tag should be end tag
2.every attribute value must in single qotions(' ')or multiple (" ")
and
some other roles is like this:
for example:
<web-app>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>XXX</servlet-name>
</servlet-class>TestServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>XXX</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/TestUrl</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
this is correct xml file.
for eample if u write this :is incorrect
<web-app>
<servlet>
</servlet-class>TestServlet</servlet-class>
<servlet-name>XXX</servlet-name>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>XXX</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/TestUrl</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
(or)
<web-app>
<servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>XXX</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/TestUrl</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>XXX</servlet-name>
</servlet-class>TestServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
</web-app>

how to know this rules u will see the schema files
or dtd files in jar files.

Yup, ur right. But its giving me an error for following lines.....

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>



<!DOCTYPE web-app

PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD web  Application 2.3//EN"

"http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_3.dtd">

It would be better if u post your complete web.xml file.
