Well, at least whoever reads the user mail at MSFT is paid for reading
his rants, we're not. And they got his money too.

As for the 'validate' flag - maybe we should just remove it:
- it slows down startup
- it is optional in the spec
- we know it doesn't work with most parsers, including versions bundled in JDK
- the whole schema validation thing is a bad idea anyway.

Is anyone really using this flag ?

I think the problem right now is a bug in the web-xml schema:

http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31125

I should have added that link to the response :-) Once this is fixed, XML validation should works.

Bob, if you're still on the list - why would you want to turn on this
flag ? I never found any use for it ( except to slow down startup and
get exceptions ).

When someone criticizes the poor state of an open sores project (as I am
doing now), the typical response from the open sores programmer is to
shift responsibility to the user -- the user is often told to dig
through the change logs or browse the forum archives or even to fix the
bug/documentation themselves instead of "complaining". What an
unprofessional, lazy attitude from programmers! The open sores
programmers try to cast *their* laziness as the user's laziness for "not
digging deeply enough" to resolve their own problem, or even fixing the
problem themselves by going into the source code. The fact that the
Tomcat User mailing list often receives over 150 messages a day is more
a testament to Tomcat's crappy documentation than to its popularity.

Yes, yes, I know Tomcat is "not for me". You're damned right. I'm happy
to pay money for quality. I guess Tomcat bares out the old adage, "you
get what you pay for".

If you don't feel special enough, I can do it in two seconds and can get
you a cool membership to the "dev-deny" list :)
