[JBoss-user] Dumb newbie confusion over web.xml

[Keith Thomas]

Hi,   Apologies for having such a basic problem but I've got myself kinda confused.   I have some idea that under Servlets 2.3 web.xml has most of the elements required to support J2EE 1.3. The web.dtd files I've found within the JBoss/Tomcat download I made earlier in the week seem to have most of the elements I would expect for full J2EE 1.3 support.   However, when I look at the bundled Tomcat 3.2.1 docs they talk about supporting Servlets 2.2, not 2.3. Also, when I search through the jboss archives I find references to jboss-web.xml. I can find no reference to this file in the download I made or in the on-line docs.   Can anyone briefly describe what is going on here because I'm missing the point. Should I just be using web.xml, and if so, is Tomcat 3.2.1 compliant with Servlets 2.3 ?   Many thanks, Keith Thomas
