We would like to keep our web-app, including the web.xml file, the same as
we push it through development, staging, and into production. Our app uses
separate image servers, database servers and EJB servers (and of course
these differ depending on weather the app is in devel, staging, or
production). We store this config info as application variables, so we can
change it from server to server as we push it out. That's why we'd like to
put the variables elsewhere on each sever that the web.xml file. Thanks for
the info! We'll give it a look. If anyone else has any ides, please feel
free to add!
