Lift doesn't like my Web.xml

I am having trouble with a basic hello world lift application from working under tomcat 6.0.18. My web.xml looks like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE web-app
        PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"
        "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">

<web-app>
    <filter>
        <filter-name>LiftFilter</filter-name>
        <display-name>Lift Filter</display-name>
        <description>The Filter that intercepts lift calls</description>
        <filter-class>net.liftweb.http.LiftFilter</filter-class>
    </filter>

    <filter-mapping>
        <filter-name>LiftFilter</filter-name>
        <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
    </filter-mapping>


</web-app>

But when I start up the app, I get

INFO: Starting service Catalina Jan 18, 2011 7:42:44 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngine start 
INFO: Starting Servlet Engine: Apache Tomcat/6.0.18 Jan 18, 2011 7:42:44 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.ContextConfig defaultWebConfig 
INFO: No default web.xml

INFO: Server startup in 1275 ms

Which leads me to believe it doesn't like my web.xml.

Any ideas?

The default web.xml (in the conf directory) seems to be missing, you web.xml should be OK providing it's in the WEB-INF folder of course.

I think it is saying that it cannot find your web.xml file. Is it in the following location when your WAR file is expanded?

$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/yourApp/WEB-INF/web.xml
