Is it normal?
The expected processing order is: 1. Create a blank representation of web.xml 2. Parse global web.xml into 1 3. Parse host web.xml into 1. This process is additive except for welcome files which will use replacement 4. Process main web.xml including fragments 5. Merge the defaults from 3 into 4 as if they were a fragment Note that order in the resulting web.xml only applies to elements where order is important (e.g. listeners). Servlets and Filters will be displayed in whatever order they come out of the associated HashMaps.
