The end-tag is inserted on an incorrect location

[gkwan-ibm]

Tried to fix the webApplication tag by the suggested action

the proposed close action, paste the closing </webApplication> end-tag incorrectly at line 57

@gkwan-ibm I'm having trouble recreating this.

Could you please explain the exact sequence in more detail ?

E.g.

• what editor are you using to open server.xml? Generic Text Editor (I think this should be the default) or XML editor?
• Did you type "<webApplication ...>" in full? Copy/paste? Or did you use completion code assist (e.g. on Mac Command+Space) to help fill in these values (in which case I think the tool would typically fill in the end tag along with the start tag)
• Did you save at all?

I'm not even sure these are the exact best questions but I guess I'm just trying to think of what the relevant detail could be.

The server.xml contains the following:

    <webApplication contextRoot="${default.context.root}"
                    location="inventory.war">
        <application-bnd>
            <security-role name="admin">
                <group name="admin" />
            </security-role>
            <security-role name="user">
                <group name="user" />
            </security-role>
        </application-bnd>
    </webApplication>

• Open it up with Generic Text Editor, remove </webApplication>, hover the mouse on the <webApplication ... tag as the following screenshot
  
• click the Close with '</webApplication>' link
• didn't use completion code assist

Tried to open the server.xml with Text Editor and XML Editior, both editors do not propose any action.

Just tried the completion code assist, I can see the end tag suggestion

Just confirmed this issue still exists in v0.9.2 on top of 23-0.

It looks to me like we should open a Lemminx issue for this one. In Lemminx v0.23.0 I see this relevant stack trace in the debugger

Opened eclipse/lemminx#1544 . Since this would require a lemminx enhancement, I labeled this as 'enhancement'.
