The subject mentions pre-compiled servlets. Are you saying you've got a ready-built war that you want to add a DD to, and there's no source files to put the @tags in? If so, then you might as well just write the DD by hand yourself and add it to the jar with the update option (jar uvf mywebapp.war WEB-INF/web.xml). It may be possible to have XDoclet generate the DD solely using the merge points, but what would be the advantage? All it would be doing is stringing various merge files together, and you could do that just as well with Ant's <concat> task, or 'cat' at a shell prompt. Probably run faster, too :-) Andrew. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Parasoft Error proof Web apps, automate testing & more.
