Description

When deploying a web application with an old deployment descriptor (Servlet 2.3), openejb fails while unmashalling.
The Servlet specification clearly says:

For backwards compatibility of applications written to the 2.2 version of the Web containers are also required to support the 2.2 version of the descriptor. For backward compatibility of applications written to the 2.3 version of the API,Web containers are also required to support the 2.3 version of the deployment descriptor. The 2.2 and 2.3 versions are defined in the appendices.
