I like Grant's suggestion as the simplest solution.
As for XML merging and XSLT, I really wouldn't want to go that route
personally, but one solution that comes close to that is to template
web.xml with some substitution tags and use Ant's ability to replace
tokens. So we could put in @FILTER@ and @FILTER_MAPPING@ placeholders
in web.xml and pull in the replacements from fragment files. But even
with all of these fancy options available, I'd still just use the
alternate web.xml technique that Grant proposed.

HI Grant,
That's not a bad idea... I could try that. I was also looking at
cactus:
http://jakarta.apache.org/cactus/integration/ant/index.html
It has an ant task to merge XML. Could this be a contrib-crawl add-
on?
Alternately, do you know of any xslt templates built for this? Could
write one, but that's a fair bit of work to support everything.
Perhaps an xslt task combined with a contrib-crawl would do the trick?
Best,

Hmmm, maybe we need to think about someway to hook this into the
build
process or make it easier to just drop it into the conf or lib

web.xml expert, but I'm sure you're not the first one to want to do
this
kind of thing.
The easiest way _might_ be to patch build.xml to take a property
for the
location of the web.xml, defaulting to the current Solr one. Then,
people
who want to use their own version could just pass in -
Dweb.xml=<path to my
web.xml>. The downside to this is that it may cause problems for
us devs
when users ask questions about strange behavior and it turns out
they have
mucked up the web.xml
FYI: dist-war is in build.xml, not common-build.xml.

Hi folks,
I just wrote a Servlet Filter to handle authentication for our
service. Here's what I did:
1. Created a dir in contrib
2. Put my project in there, I took the dataimporthandler build.xml
as
an example and modified it to suit my needs. Worked great!
3. ant dist now builds my jar and includes it
I now need to modify web.xml to add my filter-mapping, init params,
etc. How can I do this cleanly? Or do I need to manually open up
the
archive and edit it and then re-war it?
In common-build I don't see a target for dist-war, so don't see
how it
is possible...
Thanks!
Jacob
