Lolo is correct, the <servlet-mapping/> tag should be in the the web.xml instead. The web.xml descriptor defines the web application independent of the deployment environment, while the jboss-web.xml descriptor is meant to map those configuration elements to its actual deployed environment. That is why it contains those <resource-ref/> elements to map a resource defined in the web.xml to a particular jndi name for instance.

Besides moving the <servlet-mapping/> element you should also move the <servlet/> element to the web.xml.

In case you still have issues you could have eclipse validate the web.xml for you. If configured properly you can even use auto-complete while editing the xml files, see http://eclipse.org/webtools/community/tutorials/XMLValidation/XMLValidationTutorial.html.

It looks like <servlet-mapping> does not belong there, as it is not part of the allowed children for <jboss-web>, as declared in the DTD.

As far as I know, <servlet-mapping> should be in the web.xml instead.
