Hey everyone,

I just started using JBoss and I am developing an application in JDeveloper. I created a war file which runs OK but it give me the following error when I deploy it.

The app runs ok after this but since I will eventually deploy this to my clients container I would like to remove this error. It seems to indicate a problem in my web.xml file. Here is the text of my web.xml

<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'windows-1252'?>

This web xml looked pretty straightforward so I'm not sure what the problem is. Any help is greatly appreciated.
