Ah yes, the whole "can't do automatic configuration of servlet mapping" issue.
You should only have to write about your mapped servlets in one place, the
web.xml file in the WEB-INF directory within a given context.
The -auto files should account for the servlet mappings you wrote there,
but alas, that does not happen right now.
My question has been and still is, will this ever be implemented? I posted
on this issue many times before and noone in the know has responded to
this. It seems like a pretty needed feature. Why no comment on it????
If the answer is "no, we won't do that", at least that is better than not
getting an answer on this issue. BTW, I hope the answer is "yes, soon"!
later,
Jake
