Please help: weblogic. xml .dom .ChildCountException

[Ravi Sathish]

Hi Ranchers
I am literally frustrated in trying to fix this problem.
All I am trying to deploy is a simple webapp(which is running perfectly in Tomcat 5.0)
Any help will be dearly appreciated.

weblogic.xml.dom.ChildCountException: missing child ejb-ref-name in ejb-ref

Hi,
it looks like you have a missing tag in the web.xml file, I don't know why tomcat didn't got it cause is mandatory on servlet spec that the deployment descriptor must be valid against the schema(servlet 2.4)or against dtd(servlet 2.3) and looks like tomcad didn't validate it(as far as it's not complaining).
You may take of the ejb-ref declaration from your web.xml or add the child element ejb-ref-name, that problably will fix this problem.
regards.
