web.xml file parse error if servlet-mapping comes before servlet

           Summary: web.xml file parse error if servlet-mapping comes before
                    servlet
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.0.1 Final
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Unknown
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


This bug may be with Xerces? not Tomcat, but I am unsure which version ships 
with Tomcat.

A web.xml file containing:
<web-app>
    <servlet>
        ....
    </servlet>
    <servlet-mapping>
        ...
    </servlet-mapping>
    <servlet>
        ...
    </servlet>
    <servlet-mapping>
        ...
    </servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

throws a SAXParseException on Catalina startup but simply rearranging the 
elements so that the two servlet elements are first and the servlet-mapping 
elements come afterwards eg:
<web-app>
    <servlet>
        ....
    </servlet>
    <servlet>
        ...
    </servlet>
    <servlet-mapping>
        ...
    </servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-mapping>
        ...
    </servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
fixes the problem.  I don't think this is normal behaviour, but correct me if I 
am wrong.
