What about using external entities? ie:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd" [ <!ENTITY jspservlet system "jspservlet.xml> ] > then, between the servlet and servlet mapping sections &jspservlet; -SMD ----- Original Message ----- From: "Remy Maucherat" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Tomcat Developers List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, March 21, 2003 6:05 AM Subject: [5.0] [PROPOSAL] Extra web.xml to declare compiled JSPs > Hi, > > It is not very convinient or easy to insert the declarations for > compiled JSPs into the webapp's web.xml file.
