The first question I have is do you want/need to keep the default servlet definition in your CATALINA_BASE/conf/web.xml file? If not, then just remove it from there and just push the "default" configuration to every web.xml for each application. If you have a need for the default configuration in the CATALINA_BASE/conf/web.xml, then I am not the one to help. Sorry.
-----Original Message----- From: Rachel McConnell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, March 25, 2006 5:31 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: configuring the default servlet I have several web applications running in the same instance of Tomcat 5.5 and I'd like to configure the default servlet differently for some of them. The default configuration is in the web.xml file in the CATALINA_BASE/conf directory, and each webapp has its own web.xml file in its WEB-INF/ directory. I tried to override the default servlet configuration in one of the webapps by simply copying the configuration from the main web.xml file and changing the configuration to what I wanted, but the app would not start up. I got a parse error: SEVERE: Parse error in application web.xml java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: addChild: Child name 'default' is not unique Which of course is an accurate message - I'm trying to override 'default' for a particular webapp. Is this the correct way to approach the problem? I could not find a discussion of this in the Tomcat docs. Is it even possible to have different default servlet configurations on a webapp by webapp basis or is there only one default servlet object for each Tomcat instance?
