There are some other suggestions which are probably better than moving
the whole of web.xml?
"One option would be for Debian to use external entities for the
configurable elements and place the file that defines those entities
somewhere where users can edit it."
"Another option (I think) is to use the property replacement feature. I.e.
${property.name} in web.xml and property.name=foo in catalina.properties
The only question is if this works in web.xml which I don't recall and I don't
have easy access to the source to check. If it doesn't work we should be able to
fix that easily."
