Weblogic-application.xml and prefer-application-packages tag issue.

Question

Hi All,
To solve one of the issue I have mentioned already in
http://forums.bea.com/bea/thread.jspa?threadID=300000394 post.
I am planning to use prefer-application-packages tag in weblogic-application.xml but it says XML is invalid and shows following error in workshop 9.2.1.
Severity     Description     Resource     In Folder     Location     Creation Time     Id

This is my weblogic-application.xml

Hi Hitesh,
Got the same problem.
What I did to fix it was to switch both declarations :
Before :
http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/90
http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/90/weblogic-application.xsd
After :
http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/90/weblogic-application.xsd http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/90
And the Workshop error's gone.
Note that I don't think it would have prevented your filtering class loader from working.
