Parse error in application web.xml

--- web.xml ---
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>

"-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">
<web-app>
<servlet-name></servlet-name>
<jsp-file>hello.jsp</jsp-file>
</web-app>
--- end of web.xml ---
