During the startup of tomcat, some org.xml.sax.SAXParseException are raised : Element "web-app" does not allow "context-param" here. or Element "web-app" does not allow "welcome-file-list" here. or Element "web-app" does not allow "mime-mapping" here. or Element "mime-mapping" does not allow "mime-type" here. ..... All thes webapps worked fine with the 3.2.3 Tomcat, in order to make it work I've to modify the web.xml file to get a beter order of tag. But this is not normal to handle xml file like this !!
