Thanks for your response. For the first of the two options you presented, what exactly happens during the web.xml autogeneration? Will it simply change only the <servlet> elements but leave everything else as is in my current web.xml, including <servlet-mapping>? Is there anything else it changes?
The less it changes, the more my development (pre-deployment) would be as close to production as possible, I'm guessing... Thanks.
