Re: Configuration

[Thibaut Colar <tcolar@qarbon.com>]

Besides servlets definitions ?
not: much, most common i define is error pages (404)
and also very useful is session timeout.
Have rarely used anything else, i f any.

I'm not a big fan of the web.xml myself.
1) it's xml ... so you know :-)
2) it needs both the definitions, and then the mapping, and on most java 
containers it needs all the definitions first, followed by all the 
mappings, so it's annoying to edit (2 places).  But i guess it's an 
implementation issue so you don't have to make yours stupid like this :-)

But, i guess you gotta make the web.xml regardless cause it's "standard"
