>Is there any reason why you couldn't store your *.xml file in WEB-INF/ No. There is no problem with doing this and it's probably the method I'll use. Thanks everyone for all the comments.

In the 2nd method you are basically serializing the XML into a string.. I suppose that is Ok, but I think you have to have also have an <env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type> element to consider web.xml well formed. Is there any reason why you couldn't store your *.xml file in WEB-INF/ and call it with something like: ServletContext sc = getServletConfig().getServletContext(); String myXMLFIlePath = sc.getRealPath("/WEB-INF/myXMLFIle.xml"); ... Document document = parser.parse(new File(myXMLFilePath)); -- brian --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
