Do you have a test case?
Yes, I do. Try this header in your web.xml in Tomcat 5.5.7 and the app will deploy with no problems: <web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation= "http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee whatever" version="2.4"> Now, while I don't really have another 2.4 compliant server to try this on right now, EVEN ACCORDING TO YOU (as you correctly pointed out in the spec.), another server HAS THE RIGHT to validate this file however it wants. So, it might choose to validate it by actually paying attention to the schema location specified. Thus, the above declaration will fail and is therefore NOT portable! Am I wrong?
