# Which of these is true about deployment descriptors. Select the one correct answer.

1. The order of elements in deployment descriptor is not important. The elements can follow any order.
2. The elements of deployment descriptor are case insensitive.
3. The servlet-mapping element, if defined, must be included within the servlet element.
4. The web-app element must include the servlet element.

the correct answer is a.

I agree answer A is write according to what was mentioned in the SCWCD hints link,it says
Top level web.xml elements can appear in any order as compared to the servlet 2.3 specification. However, the order still matters within the elements inside the top-level elements - <servlet>, for example.

Now i just tested on tomcat 6 and it worked fine even if i put servlet-name element after servlet-class.Is this container specific ??

P.s Quick reply needed if possible.

Regards
Sagar.

From the Servlet 3.0 specs:

14.2 Rules for Processing the Deployment Descriptor
The sub elements under web-app can be in an arbitrary order in this version of the specification.

This phrase "The sub elements under web-app can be in an arbitrary order in this version of the specification" is also there in the Servlet 2.4 specs.

The difference is whether your web.xml uses an older XML DTD doctype (where orders of elements are strict), or the newer XML Schema (ordering can be loose).

Java EE 1.4 onwards use the Schemas to define the XML content, and therefore the order is generally not important.
