Hi,

I think there is a bug in the way Eclipse creates a web.xml, but as I am
not sure, I want to ask here before creating a bug report ;-):

A default "web.xml" (here for a JavaEE6 web project) contains an
attribute "xmlns:web=...":

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:web="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd"
id="WebApp_ID" version="3.0">
...
</web-app>

The sense of the "xmlns:web" attribut should be that you can build this
kind of web.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ASCII"?>
<web:web-app
xmlns:web="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" ...>
<web:display-name>TestWeb</web:display-name>
....
</web:web-app>

But this will result in validation errors if the autogenerated web.xml
is used.

I think the "xmlns:web" attribute should be:
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:web="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd"
version="3.0">

Is this right? Should I file a bug report? Or do I misunderstand
something ;-)?

By the way: this must be quite an old one...

Best regards

Wolfgang
