This file (web.xml) contains all configuration and deployment settings for a web application and its components - it must reside in the WEB-INF directory (of a web app).
Its structure and content is a standard for all J2EE containers. i.e. is understood by all J2EE containers. web.xml can define such things as: - security for servlet mappings (URL to Servlet mappings) - resources (application or individual servlet) - session configuration - error pages defined for http error types or Java Exception types - disable expression language - default welcome files - filters - define JSP tag library descriptor files - etc ... Now you know that its called web.xml, you can use everyones best friend (Google) to find out more ;-) Have fun!
