Error with web.xml namespace

[tomstrummer]

I have a web app that uses the 2.5 schema like so:

<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 http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_5.xsd"
 version="2.5">

However JBoss5 fails during startup with this message:

Caused by: org.jboss.xb.binding.JBossXBException: Failed to parse source: TargetNamespace.1: Expecting namespace 'http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee', but the target namespace of the schema document is 'http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee'. @ http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_5.xsd[8,20]

You also need to change the namespace. It should be:

<web-app version="2.5"
 xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
 xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd">

er, of course! When I read that, I thought it meant JBoss5 was looking for the j2ee namespace even though I _thought_ I was using the javaee one.

Thanks for pointing out the obvious.

No problem, the same error bit me when I switched to 2.5.
