Comment 2 Petr Jiricka 2009-10-12 13:57:34 UTC 
Looks like a problem in the web.xml DD editor. Denis, can you please investigate? Thanks.
Comment 3 Denis Anisimov 2009-10-12 14:23:22 UTC 
This problem appears as result of editing which leads to merging schema2beans model.
There is no way to fix it on client side.
ClassCastException is absolutely invalid and schema2beans code should be corrected.
( this is not a case when exception could be caught and ignored even with notification for user ).

Comment 5 Petr Jiricka 2011-10-21 14:54:20 UTC 
I am trying to reproduce using the steps in the original comment: 
modifing the following text "<listener> <listener-class>org.apache.myfaces.webapp.StartupServletContextListener</listener-class> 
</listener>"
in the web.xml, adding or removing a < or > in the class name triggers the exception

But can not reproduce. Closing as WORKFORME, if this is still happening for anyone, please reopen. Thanks.
