Hi,
I am an long-time JBoss AS 4 user and I having a bit of trouble deciphering my deployment issues on JBoss AS 5. What I am finding is that the JBoss specific deployment descriptors are causing the deployers to reject the deployments. The error that they are exhibiting is:
Caused by: org.jboss.xb.binding.JBossXBRuntimeException: -1:-1 94:3 The markup in the document preceding the root element must be well-formed.

I searched google and the JBoss community resources wiki/documentation/forums and the only reference I found to this indicates issues with poorly formed documents. However, I have checked the structure and validated the document with the specified DTD.
An example document:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE jboss PUBLIC "-//JBoss//DTD JBOSS 2.4//EN" "http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/dtd/jboss_2_4.dtd">
<jboss>
<enterprise-beans>
<session>
<ejb-name>MyBean</ejb-name>
<jndi-name>ejb/MyBean</jndi-name>
<resource-ref>
<res-ref-name>jdbc/EntityDB</res-ref-name>
<jndi-name>java:jdbc/EntityDB</jndi-name>
</resource-ref>
</session>
</enterprise-beans>
<resource-managers>
</resource-managers>
</jboss>
Does anyone know why is JBoss 5 kicking this out? I have successfully deployed the application components by removing the DTD declarations altogether, but I'd really like to get to the root cause of the issue.
Does JBoss 5 not support the legacy DTDs? If not, then why are they included in the docs/dtds directory of the installation?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Brent
