Parsing error when deploying Tomcat6 JSF application - digester.Digester

Question

I'm getting a strange parsing issue when I try to start Tomcat6 with my application (that I am trying to port from Tomcat7 to Tomcat6). The Digester itself does not declare an error until it hits an unexpected end of file - this parsing itself must be wrong.

Does anyone have any ideas?

My web.xml is below, followed by part of the console.

This is the faces-config.xml:

This is the beans.xml

By the way, the Digester log lines repeat many dozens or perhaps a hundred times- I just put a couple of turns in here to give you the idea. — Ramesh, Sep 04 '12 at 06:52
No extra line in the file - it was just added here to separate the file from the console logs — Ramesh, Sep 04 '12 at 07:04
