I can't find that. And i mean together with a web.xml in conf and a web.xml in web-inf where there are also definitions of filters and mappings..
It seems to me that it is: WEB-INF/web.xml (these do have order between them) annotations (unordered) conf/web.xml (these do have order between them) or is that just an tomcat implementation? that other containers don't really have to follow?
