           Summary: External Entities cannot be found in web.xml
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: 5.0.28
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Catalina
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


I am using JspC to generated my precompiled pages, but I do not like how I am
forced to manually alter my web.xml. To get around this, I have declared an
external entity reference in web.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app [
<!ENTITY foo SYSTEM "generated_web.xml">
]>
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee";... version="2.4">
....

When I reference the entity in the servlet section, I get an exception. Tomcat
is trying to resolve to the boot directory, not the directory of my webapp. This
is an obvious error:

======
java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28\bin\generated_web.xml
(The system cannot find the file specified)

The XML parser should have a pluggable entity resolver that maps to the web
application directory being loaded.
