Ok, I checked with only listeners and filter-mappings (whose order matters) and the resulting order is the following (from top to bottom in effective web.xml):
1: main web.xml 2: global web.xml 3: host web.xml.default So is it possible to have them in order (2, 3, 1)... I guess not but there's no harm in asking =) Thanks, Xavier ---------------------------------------- > Date: Thu, 16 May 2013 15:01:28 +0100 > From: ma...@apache.org > To: users@tomcat.apache.org > Subject: Re: Default web.xml for all webapps of a specific Host > > On 16/05/2013 14:47, Xavier Dury wrote: >> I tried adding a $CATALINA_BASE/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/web.xml.default >> and checked what was the resulting web.xml with logEffectiveWebXml="true".
