Hmmm - good question. Don't know why I didn't think of that. Would just modifying the ROOT/WEB-INF/web.xml work? I expected that I needed to modify the entire site's defaults since I didn't think that the root would suffice, but now that I think about it, your suggestion does sound much more logical. FYI, I did run a couple of tests to see if the site-wide would conflict with an individual application, but it seems that the individual application's settings will override it - however, only if specified. If not specified, then I can indeed forsee additional confusion occuring. Will take another look at that tomorrow.
