How to turn off xml validatin in tomcat ?

joes

Hello
I am using tomcat 3.3.1 for an intranet application with other third
party software. Unfortunately I have to remove from the web.xml the
web-app valiadtion, because of the old third party software.
The¨follow up is now that tomcat during every startup is claiming
about that the web.xml is not "well-formed". However I would like to
turn off this validation, but I don't know where it can be configured.
Maybe it can be reached by setting a specific JAXP property? any hints
are welcome.

Thank you best regards.

Here attached the claiming message from the tomcat logs during
startup:

Why do you need to remove DOCTYPE?

Jul 17 '05 #2

joes

as mentioned before the third party tool (framework CMS vignette) has
old xml parsers and they ara managing the web.xml. So I have to
remove the doctype while I am using the tool. I have to live with that
and could not changing this behaviour.

However I am asking still how to turn off the validation inside
Tomcat?
Where does something know about that ? Is this validation occuring by
Tomcat or a default configuration of the underlying xerxes / crimson
parser ?

thank you
regards
