According to the spec all web applications need a web.xml file whether it is in a WAR file or an exploded directory structure.some people never realize the need for the web.xml because they simply place their JSPs in the context of the default web app and never have to worry about the web.xml file for jsp deployments but it is still their. as far as the use of exploded directory structures we use them extensively in our development environment. Our IDEs save the JSPs and compiled servlets directly to the exploded directory structure so all you have to do to test changes is do a page reload. When the app is ready to deploy we use ANT to build a war file for deployment.

If you did that, however, I don't see the point of not building a WAR file. -- =================================================================== David M.
