I hadn't thought about that. If you can come up with a way of doing it that would be supercool and I'd be happy to pull in your changes. One thing to look out for is that some people (me included) mix Java and Clojure servlets and so there still needs to be a way of manually writing a web.xml for people that want it. Possible approaches I can think of are: 1. making automatic generation only happen if there is no web.xml 2. add automatic generation as an option (either in project.clj or on the command line) 3. write an alternative plugin (e.g lein-webxml) that uses the hooks feature of leiningen to produce a web.xml when lein war is called.
