    Default listener tag exception

    I am running spring framework with Tomcat 4.1.31. In order to get the webApplicationContext to work, I have the following lines in my web.xml:

    <?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/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">
    <web-app>
    ......
    <listener>
    <listener-class>
    org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListe ner
    </listener-class>
    </listener>

    .....
    </web-app>

    but I got the following error message when Tomcat starts up:

    looks like the listener tag is not valid . But when I check the DTD file, listener tag is valid. The strange thing is that even with the exception, my actin class can still use WebApplicationContext to load a bean from applicationContext.xml file. Here is a code segment from my baseAction class:

    public void setServlet(ActionServlet actionServlet) {
    super.setServlet(actionServlet);
    ServletContext servletContext = actionServlet.getServletContext();
    WebApplicationContext wac = WebApplicationContextUtils
    .getRequiredWebApplicationContext(servletContext);
    this.nexus = (NexusFacade) wac.getBean("nexus");
    }


    Any suggestions, comments, solutions would be highly appreciated.

    Your web.xml is specifying that you have a Servlet 2.2 webapp, so listeners are not yet supported for that version:

    <!DOCTYPE web-app
    PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.2//EN"
    "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">
    You need to specify:

    <!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">

    PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.2//EN"

    Change the bold part to 2.3 and try again.

    Thanks for the response. However, I still get the same error message. I though what important is the DTD file. But that DTD files does have listener tag in it.
