http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4450 Warn if incorrect DTD referenced Summary: Warn if incorrect DTD referenced Product: Tomcat 4 Version: 4.0.1 Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: Catalina AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Specifying an incorrect DTD in the webapp descriptor file (WEB-INF/web.xml) doesn't seem to affect the use of the webapp. A good example of an incorrect DTD is: <!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN" "http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_3.dtd";> Other JSP 1.2 servers refuse to startup webapps that don't specify the DTD as: <!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd";> This isn't a big issue, but can cause confusion when porting from Tomcat to other servers. Is it possible that a warning could be displayed in the console when an incorrect DTD is referenced? This would be similar to the way that errors in the web.xml file are shown. Cheers Simon
