Including external XML into the web.xml descriptor
darthjoe Mar 9, 2004 10:21 AMHi all,
I am pre-compiling my jsp's and outputting the servlet/url mappings to a file jsp_inc.xml
I want to include that file in my web.xml file for my war project. If I cut an paste
the jsp_inc.xml text into my web.xml it works fine. I was trying to use entities to
include the file and not have to do the cut and paste. All the examples I have
seen suggest the below entry should work, but it doesn't appear to. Any ideas?
Are there any means to get debug output for the xml parser? By the way,
I am using jboss 3.2.x
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
-Joe
