Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 8.1 2005Q2 Update 2 Developer's Guide

Using the default-web.xml File

You can use the default-web.xml file to define features such as filters and security constraints that apply to all web applications.

ProcedureTo use the default-web.xml file

  1. Place the JAR file for the filter, security constraint, or other feature in the domain-dir/lib directory.

  2. Edit the domain-dir/config/default-web.xml file to refer to the JAR file.

  3. Restart the server.

The InvokerServlet

The InvokerServlet allows use of the servlet-name instead of the servlet-mapping for invoking a servlet with a URL, as described in Invoking a Servlet with a URL. The InvokerServlet is commented out in the default-web.xml file. To re-enable the InvokerServlet, remove the comment indicators (<!-- and -->), then restart the server.
