Ahh, I see the title of the thread is wrong. It should be WEB-INF/web.xml,
not META-INF/web.xml
AFAIK, the WEB-INF directory is place for files to be used by the container
internally (not accessible from web clients). As an example, CAS is putting
all its config files in this directory.
Please have a look at
http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/6/api/javax/servlet/ServletContext.html
method: getResourcePaths
I think a call like ServletContext-->getResource("/WEB-INF/web.xml") is ok.
This code is in the core module because the intension is to support the
J2EE authentication filter which is in the core module too.
