SAXParseException on catalina.sh run
I'm getting the following error when I run 'catalina.sh run'. It'll happen
whether I say /path/to/catalina.sh or ./ or just catalina.sh. another user
with nearly identical server.xml and web.xml doesn't get the error (the
only differences between our files are port numbers and user names)
Any ideas? I'm pretty sure the errors are referring to web.xml, and I can
make it have other errors, but can't get rid of this one, even though
someone else w/ the same file won't have a problem..
something in my env??!

The odd thing is that another tomcat server running on the same box with a
virtually identical (except port numbers and user names) web.xml file
doesn't complain at all. That's why I was wondering if it was something in
my environment screwing it up?
my first six lines (exactly):
---------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app
PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.2//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2.2.dtd">
<web-app>
----------------------
I've tried it both with and without the <?xml line since the other guy's
works without it.. any other ideas? can I turn up the debugging?

The XML parser in Tomcat 4.0.3 requires STRICT adherence
to XML standards. I struggled for a while myself before
I discovered that XML sub-elements must appear in the SAME ORDER
as they are listed in the DTD. That was news to me, because I
had never seen a parser that required it.
So... make sure your XML is absolutely correct. Your parse error
is coming at line 1 column 1 so make sure your web.xml starts with
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> and then make sure
your <!DOCTYPE> tag is is exactly right. One wrong letter will
screw it up. Note that server.xml does not need the opening <?xml>
or <!DOCTYPE> tags, but web.xml does.
