RE: Override WAR file security settings.
By the lack of response to my question, I take it that it is not possible to override the following web.xml settings by redefining them in Tomcats server.xml security-constraint login-config security-role Any changes to those values must be made after the application has been deployed by editing the deployed web.xml. Is that correct? There is now way to override then as can be done with Environment values? Can someone confirm this or have I just missed something in the Tomcat documentation?

Re: Override WAR file security settings.
I can confirm that you can't override these web.xml settings in server.xml It should be simple enough in Ant to generate two .war files that only differ by the web.xml file Mark Jim Henderson wrote: By the lack of response to my question, I take it that it is not possible to override the following web.xml settings by redefining them in Tomcat’s server.xml security-constraint login-config security-role Any changes to those values must be made after the application has been deployed by editing the deployed web.xml.

RE: Override WAR file security settings.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have looked for over a day using GOOGLE, etc., just to be sure I was not missing anything!
