Ok, so I changed my web.xml file to only this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <web-app> </web-app>
and then ran mvn package. I then deployed the resulting war file in both jetty 5.1 and tomcat 5.5. I had to "fix" jetty by telling it not to validate the web.xml file (it wasn't finding the web-app node and this seems to be a known issue in jetty 5.1) and after turning off (for the moment - it's a local dev box and I'm just testing anyway) security in tomcat so I could get to the vm statistics (number of threads, memory, etc), it all just worked. I had also removed the - SNAPSHOT from the version in my pom beforehand. Everything seems to be going just fine now. I also spent some time reading the "in practice" book which was helpful, but didn't explain (or I missed it) how the mergewebxml actually merges (ie, what it matches on). I like only having to mention things in my module descriptor and the maven plugin just makes it work. Very nice indeed. Thanks for the replies, I'll continue reading and trying more complicated examples.
