alfresco with geronimo

[tpg-dc]

I'm looking for some help with installing Alfresco on Apache Geronimo 1.0.  In trying to deploy the alfresco.war file I receive the following error.

Error: Unable to distribute alfresco.war: Error parsing web.xml

        Invalid deployment descriptor: [error: cvc-complex-type.2.4b:
    Element not allowed: description@http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee in

I'm running Geronimo with Jetty on CentOS 4, and java version

java version "1.4.2_10"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_10-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_10-b03, mixed mode

I appreciate any assistance with getting Alfresco installed.

regards to all!!

Java 1.5 is a minimum requirement to run Alfresco. Also i noticed the error was with web XML schema 2.4, in the header of our web.xml file I see it is using 2.3. You may even wish to disable validating of the web.xml against the schema if that's causing a problem.

Please continue to let us know how you get on!

Thanks,

Kevin
