Hi, I got a question on how things supposed to work if there is no web.xml supplied. For example, in case of web services, there are certain rules on how the web.xml file should get updated if the web.xml is not present. That is, the servlet-name and servlet-class gets set to the bean class name and the url-pattern is set to the @WebService.serviceName value. Are there similar rules for pure servlets? For example, if there is no web.xml file, should the module builder scan all classes and check if a given class implements the Servlet interface, etc. and update the web.xml appropriately? I can't find a lot of information on this topic. Maybe it's just a special case for web services?
I think so... someone found a spec reference recently that indicated that web.xml can be omitted only if there are no servlets or filters.
I think we're going to have to work harder to generate a web.xml when it's missing for these webservices.
