the order of the tags in web.xml file
Hi all, can anyone tell me where i can find a piece of doc about
the order of the tags in a web.xml file. For a while i have been trying
to use different combinations of those tags but still i couldn't figure out
the right order. I searched archives, FAQs , even
http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd but couldn't find anything about
that.
how are we supposed to know the correct order of those tags? Without that,
i can't get my tomcat 4 server worked.
Let me make my problem more clear:
i want to set some security constraints on my directories,so i need to set
<security-constraints> tags, but whenever i try i am having parsing
exceptions due
to inproper ordering of those tags. In a more straightforward saying,
where should <security-constraints> tags be put, before -or -after mime
types,
sesion-config,login config, etc.
Please help me as soon as possible.
Best Regards :)

Thank you Craig, i knew that it should be in DTD, but somewhat i couldn't
find, may be that time i didn't know how to read :).
However, i found it now, thanks for your help.
Cheers :)

The DTD *does* tell you exactly what the required order is ... but you do
have to know how to read it :-)
Near the top of the DTD, you will see the following definition for the
<web-app> element:
<!ELEMENT web-app (icon?, display-name?, description?, ...
which defines exactly the required order, as well as whether an element
is optional ("?" suffix) or can occur zero or more times ("*" suffix).
The same is true for elements with nested sub-elements like <servlet>.
For those that are interested, the detailed syntax and semantics of an XML
DTD are defined in the XML Specification at <http://www.w3c.org>.
