Solution:

Here the error itself has the solution to the problem. This issue is caused due to the unstructured web.xml file configurations. You shall build the tags in xml file in below order from top to bottom.

icon?-->>display-name?-->>description?-->>distributable?-->>context-param*-->>filter*-->>filter-mapping*-->>listener*-->>servlet*-->>servlet-mapping*-->>session-config?-->>mime-mapping*-->>welcome-file-list?-->>error-page*-->>taglib*-->>resource-env-ref*-->>resource-ref*-->>security-constraint*-->>login-config?-->>security-role*-->>env-entry*-->>ejb-ref*-->>ejb-local-ref*

Once you have rearranged the tags in proper order as above , please restart the Jboss service and check.
