---------------------------------
Brian,
Many thanks for your reply. Sorry for my brief description. the servlet-api get
copied into the ${TOMCAT_HOME}/webapps/myweb/WEB-INF/lib
even it is stated that the dependency is provided by the container (Tomcat web
container).
I am wondering why should the servlet-api get copied into the above mentioned
directory even it is supplied by the container. I have checked my other pom and
there is no mention for servlet-api dependency except in the above mentioned
module.
As I understand from the <scope>provided</scope>, it will not be copied since
the artifact will be provided by the container.
Many thanks
Regards,
