Weblogic startup error

Just noticed this error in weblogic's stdout:

<Nov 29, 2006 2:12:49 PM PST> <Warning> <HTTP> <BEA-101248> <[ptagis]: 
Deployment descriptor "web.xml" is malformed. Check against the DTD: 
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: 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*)". (line 109, column 11).>

This is still an error. Here is what the beginning of web.xml looks like:

<!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app
_2_3.dtd">

Info from BEA tech support

This error indicates that the elements entries in the web.xml file are out of order. For example, 
the <welcome-file> entry before the <servlet> and <servlet-mapping> entries. The web.xml elements 
must be in the following order in the web.xml file:

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.

For example, the <servlet-mapping> entries must be positioned below the <servlet> entries but 
above the <welcome-file-list>:
.....
<web-app>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>CopyProcessServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>psm.copyresmap.CopyProcessServlet</servlet-class>

This is an error because the mime-mapping must come before the welcome-file-list.

But simply moving the mime-mapping stanza to the proper place results in a more significant error from the weblogic parser that prevents deployment.
