Hi,
1. The number should be a non-negative integer giving the
servlet engine the order in which you want the servlets to be
loaded (0 - earliest). I don't know why the example uses the
maximum negative integer, maybe it's a special case specifically
for Tomcat.
You can read all about it in the Servlet 2.2 Spec (from java.sun.com).
One of the apendixes lists the DTD of web.xml and describes this number.
2. There is a mailing list dedicated for Tomcat if you have
implementation-specfic questions. It is hosted at jakarta.apache.org.
Cheers,
