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;

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. It also has the 
> disadvantage of adding a lot of mess in the web.xml, which the user may 
> not like.
> 
> For that reason, I propose that Tomcat parses a new (optional) XML file, 
> with the same DTD as web.xml, which would contain declarations identical 
> to web.xml, and which would be used for declaring the compiled JSPs. I 
> propose naming that file compiledjsp.xml.
> 
> An additional advantage is that it would allow Tomcat to precompile 
> webapps as they are deployed (otherwise, nasty XML manipulation is 
> needed to do that, and I think overwriting the originial web.xml during 
> deployment is bad).
> 
> Maybe someone has a better solution for this problem. Any comments ?
