I'm using Tomcat 6 with eclipse web tools to publish an application. When I deploy the j2ee application I'm getting this error via tomcat logs:

This leads me to the web.xml file - which apparently is having issues being parsed. However, when examining the web.xml I don't see anything wrong.
Here is the web.xml:

Change the initial line "<web-app" to the following
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee">
Throughout the entire file, remove any of those "javaee:" prefixes.
I had the same problem, I think we both copied the web.xml file from the same source. I can't remember what the source was and it worked for me until now, I don't know what changed.
