What do you understand by the 'missing application web XML' error

The web.xml file is the configuration file for your web application when you deploy it in the Tomcat Server. When you get 'missing application web xml error', it means that either you would have missed loading the web.xml file or something is wrong with the content of that web.xml file.

If XML validation is set to true then the web.xml file is validated with the Sun's schema for the proper elements and their hierarchy in the web.xml file. If you have missed some tags in the web.xml that validation fails against that particular schema and this could also throw you the 'missing application web xml' error.

If you do not want to get this error you try turning off the XML validation. You might get through and your web application might run properly. However it is better to validate your web.xml. To set the XML validation to true or false for your web application you have to check with the server.xml file in your Tomcat installation directory.
