Any J2EE (specifically JSP/Servlets) tutorial will have a section
about web.xml, what it does, and what it's used for.  jrun-web.xml has
some jrun-specific extensions (such as virtual mappings); you'll need
to hit the MM docs for specifics on that one.

Basically, web.xml sets up the web interface of the application.  The
biggest piece is defining mappings between web paths and servlets.
For example, CFMX defines "*.cfm" to execute the CfmServlet servlet,
and "*.cfc" to execute CfcServlet. It also dictates that
"/CFIDE/main.cfm" executes the RDSServlet.

Just keep in mind that you're probably not deploying a J2EE web
application, you're deploying a CFML application.  It just so happens
that CF is implemented as a J2EE web application, but that's generally
irrelevant, and might not always be the case (for instance, if you
deploy to BlueDragon.NET).
