No. There is no problem with doing this and it's probably the method
I'll use. Thanks everyone for all the comments.

I doubt the 1st method is valid, since you are basically inventing new
deployment descriptor elements, and I know for sure that Eclipse would
go crazy with error messages.
In the 2nd method you are basically serializing the XML into a
string.. I suppose that is Ok, but I think you have to have also have
an java.lang.String element to
consider web.xml well formed.
Is there any reason why you couldn't store your *.xml file in WEB-INF/
and call it with something like:
ServletContext sc = getServletConfig().getServletContext();
String myXMLFIlePath = sc.getRealPath("/WEB-INF/myXMLFIle.xml");
...
Document document = parser.parse(new File(myXMLFilePath));

The ServletContext.getRealPath() call will fail if the webapp is in an
unexpanded .war or running on a platform without a normal file system
(e.g., a mobile phone). Better to use
ServletContext.getResourceAsStream(), which will function properly in
all cases.

Your CDATA solution is the one you're looking for. Better yet, use to pass a filename to your code, and then read a pristine XML file instead of hacking one into the deployment descriptor. - -chris -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGxMXb9CaO5/Lv0PARAohfAKCmbKE/FbbkfjIFwIfX2ur5WA1mXQCeMSxT 6iuiiR2AqlqypC9ba7qR5pg= =r6fh -END PGP SIGNATURE- - To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Embedding XML documents as children of the context-param element
Hi everyone, I am curious about a certain possibility to embed XML as a child of a context-param value in a servlets web.xml file. Here is what I a looking for... ContextParam1 A happy element This doesn't seem to work correctly however I have found using CDATA tags this does work properly... ContextParam1 So as an alternative I know the second method will work but was curious if anyone has tried the first method.
