Hello tomcat users, Before I can submit formal bug to the issue tracker, I want to ask here. I have web.xml and I include some text file in it using !ENTITY tag:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd" [ *<!ENTITY remoteClasses SYSTEM "generated/djn-settings.inc">* ]> <web-app> <servlet> <servlet-name>MyServlet</servlet-name> <servlet-class>com.example.MyServlet</servlet-class> <init-param> <param-name>application.classes</param-name> <param-value> &remoteClasses; </param-value> </init-param> </servlet> </web-app> It worked fine until version 7.0.52. With 7.0.52, I'm getting following error during application deployment https://gist.github.com/gAmUssA/11183618 <https://gist.github.com/gAmUssA/11183618> *p.s.* Doesn't work with v8 as well. Please, advise. Thanks -- With Best Regards, Vik Gamov
