Well, I tried to declare the per-host web.xml as a web-fragment like this but it does not work:
<web-fragment> <ordering> <before> <others /> </before> </ordering> ... </web-frament> Tomcat is expecting a <web-app> which can only contain <absolute-ordering> which must reference other fragments. I wanted the content of the host web.xml to be applied first and transparently to the webapp. Xavier ---------------------------------------- > From: kal...@hotmail.com > To: users@tomcat.apache.org > Subject: RE: Default web.xml for all webapps of a specific Host > Date: Thu, 16 May 2013 16:55:55 +0200 > > 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)...
