jsp-config query

[Ashu Jain]

Is something wrong with my DD

<?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/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">
<web-app>
<display-name></display-name>
<description></description>
<jsp-config>
<jsp-property-group>
<url-pattern>/*.do</url-pattern>
<scripting-invalid>true</scripting-invalid>
</jsp-property-group>
</jsp-config>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>JSPTest</servlet-name>
<description>Chapter JSP test</description>
<jsp-file>/BasicCounter.jsp</jsp-file>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>JSPTest</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/BasicCounter.do</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

It gave me error after i added jsp-config element. Error is <jsp-config> must be declared.

You are using the 2.3 version ? USe 2.4 instead. Remove the DOCTYPE, and use the web-app tag shown in this FAQ.

[Ashu Jain]

Got it that doctype was refering to 2.3 DTD. I removed docType from web.xml and give following web.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd"
version="2.4">
<display-name></display-name>
<description></description>
<jsp-config>
<jsp-property-group>
<url-pattern>*.do</url-pattern>
<scripting-invalid>true</scripting-invalid>
</jsp-property-group>
</jsp-config>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>JSPTest</servlet-name>
<description>Chapter JSP test</description>
<jsp-file>/BasicCounter.jsp</jsp-file>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>JSPTest</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/BasicCounter.do</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>


</web-app>

It is giving error "Document root element must match DOCTYPE root = null. What does that mean? How to rectify this.

[Christophe Verré]

Also remove the xml tag at the top.

[Ashu Jain]

Does not seem to work still.

It gives error that Document root element "web-app" must match DOCTYPE root "null".

[Christophe Verré]

Which container are you using ?

[Surajsingh Thakur]

Depends on the container,perhaps ..

[Ashu Jain]

I am using tomcat 4.1.37 and java 1.4.2

[Ashu Jain]

u were right. Things started working after i installed tomcat 5.X

Thanks a lot
