Hello,
While peeking behind a colleague's
shoulder I noticed that during
installation/configuration of
a web application there was no
web.xml in the well known WEB-INF
directory.
Where is the data I used to see
in web-xml (e.g. using Apache Tomcat)
stored with WebSphere?
Greetings,
Gian Franco

I'm not sure what your colleague was doing, but in all versions of WebSphere after version 4.0, we do use the web.xml file. We are fully J2EE compliant in that regard. I'd check with your colleague again.

Hi Gian,

The file web.xml is NOT a private thing for WebSphere or Jakarta Tomcat. It is the deployment descriptor that is well-defined in Servlet specification, which also specified that this file MUST be located at webapps_name/WEB-INF directory.
Thus, no matter in which app server, it should locate in the directory mentioned above.
Nick.
