No "tomcat.log" file was generated. I have no webapps in the "webapps"
folder, I just use one context which maps to "/".
Does having the same mapping in <tomcat_home>/conf/web.xml and any other
"web.xml" cause the mapping to be discarded altogether? This seems to be
what is happening here, but I don't understand WHY!
I thought that by providing a servlet mapping (JSP or any other) in web.xml
just overrode the default settings within the particular webapp ; as such, I
would have expected that copying the default web.xml would be harmless
(indeed, very useful in some cases, in order to provide different JSP
behaviour for different webapps under the same server..!).
Please explain !
Many thanks,
Chris
