Upgrading weblogic.xml from 6.1 to 8.1

Question

I'am upgrading form weblogic 6. to weblogic 8.1.
I have a problem upgrading my weblogic.xml, i get this message when i validate
the xml file:
The content of element type "weblogic-web-app" must match "(description?,weblogic-version?,security-role-assignment*,run-as-role-assignment*,reference-descriptor?,session-descriptor?,jsp-descriptor?,auth-filter?,container-descriptor?,charset-params?,virtual-directory-mapping*,url-match-map?,preprocessor*,preprocessor-mapping*,security-permission?,context-root?,wl-dispatch-policy?,servlet-descriptor*,init-as*,destroy-as*)".
I have changed the header form:
<!DOCTYPE weblogic-web-app PUBLIC "-//BEA Systems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 6.1//EN"
"http://www.bea.com/servers/wls610/dtd/weblogic-web-jar.dtd">
to:
<!DOCTYPE weblogic-web-app PUBLIC "-//BEA Systems, Inc.//DTD Web Application
8.1//EN" "http://www.bea.com/servers/wls810/dtd/weblogic810-web-jar.dtd">
Is there any oder changes i must do to the weblogic.xml and what is the reason
for the error message ?

The upgrade has this note.
XML Parsing
Issue: The new XML parser rejects some XML documents that were accepted
by the previous parser.
The built-in XML parser for WebLogic Server 8.1 is based on the Apache
Xerces 1.4.4 parser, which is stricter than its predecessors.
Symptom: An EAR file's deployment descriptors are all correct, but the
EAR still cannot be loaded.
Solution: Verify that the other XML documents in your deployment comply
with Version 2 SAX and DOM interfaces. Track down and repair the XML. For
6.x see Apache Xerces XML Parser; for 7.1 see Apache Xerces XML Parser. For
an example, see Fix Encoding Error, where a minor encoding error is fixed.
I would compare the XML file to the new DTD and see if you can determine why
the parse is failing. You may also want to ask this in the
weblogic.developer.interest.servlet newsgroup.
