I'll try to give an example:
In our project, we're using a open source component called SiteMesh.
SiteMesh contains a filter that we are using. We didn't create this
filter, so therefore, we can't generate a filter mapping for it using
XDoclet.
To overcome this, XDoclet gives you the ability to merge files into
deployment descriptors. What we did, was create a filter-mappings.xml
file (take a look in the generate xml files to see what to name certain
files for merging) and added the following to it:
<filter>
<filter-name>sitemesh</filter-name>
<filter-class>com.opensymphony.module.sitemesh.filter.PageFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>sitemesh</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
When xdoclet creates the web.xml, it will look in the merge directory
we've specified, and add the above in the appropriate spot.
That's the jist of it. Hopefully, I haven't missed something. If I have
could someone please point it out. ;)
