Red cross next to project??? [message #72565]

Hello,

I am just starting to use WTP. I'm migrating a project that was used with
Indeo Tomcat plugin. Everything works fine except that I always have a red
cross with the icon of my project, as if I had an error, but none is
listed. Do you know what could be the problem?

Thank you in advance,
Cristi.

When this happened to me, it was because my web.xml file wasn't
referencing the dtd with the full url. If you have the J2EE Project
Explorer View, do you have a Deployment Descriptor section?

Your DOCTYPE line in your web.xml should be something like this:

<!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application
2.3//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">

(The URI for the DTD is the important part)

Thank you very much.

I modified the web.xml file BUT, it had exactly the DOCTYPE line that you
wrote. I inspired myself from a sample app, and I deleted the DOCTYPE
section, and added instead:

<web-app id="WebApp_ID" version="2.4"
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd">

After restarting Eclipse the J2EE Project Explorer view showed the DD
section.

So now it works. Thank you.

Regards,
Cristian.
