Answer 1

You are using the deployment descriptor schema (web-app_2_5.xsd) version 2.5 which is in javaee namespace (http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee). But You have given J2ee namespace instead (http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee).

Try using the Java EE 7 namespace:

<web-app xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee"
     xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
     xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_1.xsd"
     version="3.1">
</web-app>
