I can't commit to developing this (I'd love to, I have some ideas, but I don't have the time...), but hopefully it might interest someone and they can develop it...
When deploying webapps as WAR files, especially generic webapps, it's not always very practical to request that an administrator manually unpacks the WAR file, locates the web.xml file, and updates context or servlet parameters. Perhaps the admin/manager webapp could list all context/servlet parameters for a given webapp, and allow their values to be changed. This isn't a way to modify web.xml directly, more a way to store values to override whatever's in web.xml. That way, if a new copy of the webapp is installed in the server, the overriding values would still be retained and can override the updated web.xml, without requiring to be reentered. It's by no means a critical feature, but it's nice to have. - Chris B. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
