I agree you should only have to write about your servlets in one
place, but I was satisfied with the answer I got, namely, I think,
that the automatically generated conf file is not meant to be complete
but is really just a convenient way to generate a starting point for
the tomcat conf data to include in httpd.conf. If that's right, then
it really just confuses the situation to have tomcat generate the file
*every* time it starts up, because it makes me think I'm supposed to
always use the latest one.
