All very good points escpecially since it will load classes outside the webapps sandbox. Definately evil.

What I would probably do in the large # of servlets situation for a single webapp during development is generate the web.xml file as part of the build process and have the build scan the proper source directory and create it dynamicly before deployment.

Alas hard to do in ant without scripts but would make development easier.

I recently installed Tomacat 6.0 and see that I now need to make my web application privalaged in order to use InvokerServlet to allow users to execute arbitrary servlets. This seems to continue a trend that may eventually result in Invoker being widthdrawn. My question is why is allowing execution of arbitrary servlets so discouraged. In my opinion JSPs are essentially servlets with a differnt deployment convention and there is no prohibition on running jsps without "registering them." I like to build web applications with hundreds of servlets and I prefer not to explicitly define each one in web.xml. Is there any sanctioned method of doing this in a tomcat world?
