This seems related to xml parser or servlet.jar. I know filter is only compatible with servlet 2.3. But I am sure JBoss3.2.3 is using tomcat 4.1 and is servlet 2.3 compatible.

Do I need to do anything to use filter in my web application?

Please help.

Thanks,

just a guess but check your doctype in web.xml, perhaps its not the servlet 2.3 one. e.g. <!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC
"-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">

Thanks a lot. That was the problem and after I fixed that and re-order my web.xml, I still got the following two errors:

2004-01-30 09:43:25,266 ERROR [org.apache.commons.digester.Digester] Parse Error at line 8 column 7: Element type "urn" must be declared.

and

2004-01-30 09:43:25,391 ERROR [org.apache.commons.digester.Digester] Parse Error at line 23 column 10: The content of element type "taglib" must match "(tlibversion,jspversion?,shortname,uri?,info?,tag+)".

it looks like this is related to taglibs. in my web.xml:


<taglib-uri>/tags/struts-bean</taglib-uri>
<taglib-location>/WEB-INF/struts-bean.tld</taglib-location>


Do you see anything wrong?

Thanks a lot.
