Sort of, the spec explicitly allows access to web.xml (if it exists): SRV.9.5 Directory Structure However, the contents of the WEB-INF directory are visible to servlet code using the getResource and getResourceAsStream method calls on the ServletContext. But containers like Tomcat 4 will merge in a set of defaults from a container-wide web.xml. eg, entries in Tomcat conf/web.xml. Other containers have similiar sorts of setups, so global error pages defined in a container-specific way would not be seen. -- Christopher St. John [EMAIL PROTECTED] DistribuTopia http://www.distributopia.com ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff SERVLET-INTEREST".
