What's wrong with my deployment descriptor?

[ernest fakudze]

Hi to all,
I've recently started experimenting with the web.xml file of my J2EE app. The problem is that it has an error and I can't locate it. The server (JBOSS) says that there is some kind of a XMLParse error. Could you please tell me what I'm doing wrong.

JBoss should give the line and column where the XML parse error occurs, you should also make careful note of exactly what the error is.
"some kind of XMLParse error" is not all that helpful.
