Problem on web.xml when deploying GWT into JBoss

Question

I have developed a simple application in GWT. After that, I generate war file and deploy it into JBoss. However, when I do this, I get an error message like:

The content of element type "web-app" must match "(icon?,display-name?,description?,distributable?,context-param*,filter*,filter- mapping*,listener*,servlet*,servlet-mapping*,session-config?,mime-mapping*,welcome-file-list?,error-page*,taglib*,resource-env-ref*,resource- ref*,security-constraint*,login-config?,security-role*,env-entry*,ejb-ref*,ejb-local-ref*)".

On the other hand, my web.xml is the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app
PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">

<web-app>

<context-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/resources/spring.xml</param-value>
</context-param>

<!-- Servlets -->
<servlet>
  <servlet-name>greetServlet</servlet-name>
   <servlet-class>main.java.com.gwt.app.server.GreetingServiceImpl</servlet-class>
 </servlet>

<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>greetServlet</servlet-name>
     <url-pattern>/zb_app/greet</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

 <listener>
<listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-    class>
</listener>

 <!-- Default page to serve -->
 <welcome-file-list>
    <welcome-file>ZB_app.html</welcome-file>
 </welcome-file-list>

</web-app>

It is to say, the web-app tag contains some mandatory tags. I do not what is the problem, could someone help me with the problem?

Thank you in advance!

Regards!

Try to put the listener declaration before the servlets, the order of the elements shouldn't be a problem but I've seen this in some container (don't remeber if it was JBoss)


<listener>
<listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
</listener>

<!-- Servlets -->
<servlet>  
<servlet-name>greetServlet</servlet-name>   
<servlet-class>main.java.com.gwt.app.server.GreetingServiceImpl</servlet-class> </servlet>

<servlet-mapping>    
<servlet-name>greetServlet</servlet-name>     
<url-pattern>/zb_app/greet</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
