"listener" tag in web.xml

[Sagar Rohankar]

Hi ranchers,

For debugging and testing purpose , i used tomcat 6.0 and put my

listener

tag in web.xml as follow .

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<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 <a href="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd">" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd"></a>
    [B]<listener>
        <listener-class>
            QuartzInitializerListener
        </listener-class>
    </listener>[/B]
    
    
    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>ScheduleServlet</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>ScheduleServlet</servlet-class>
    </servlet>
    
    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>ScheduleServlet</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/ScheduleServlet</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
    
    <session-config>
        <session-timeout>
            30
        </session-timeout>
    </session-config>
    <welcome-file-list>
        <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
    </welcome-file-list>
    
    
</web-app>
   

This configuration , run fine.
Now when i give this code to my colleague , which wants this code to be integrated with our web app which uses struts 1.2 and tomcat 5.5 .
Now my problem is, the listener tag is not validate into our web apps web.xml , when we run app, the tomcat throws exception at this listener tag , saying cant parse the web.xml,

Now give me some solution , what goes wrong here ..

Thanks,

Regards,

What is the exact message printed in Tomcat's log ?

[Anubhav Anand]

The <listener-class> tag takes the fully qualified class name. What I see that initially you might not have had packages during testing but, when you integrate the packages might exist.

Also, please post the error log, it will be helpful to comment on the actual problem.

Yes Anand , that is one issue , and i solved it .. Plus ,1 more interesting thing i learned is that , the xml schema i am using here, i am using 2.5 , but my colleague uses 2.3 , which doest not support listener tag !! we solved it , thanks for the reply.

Servlets 2.3 support listeners.
