XML entity references? You can define an external general parsed entity (EGPE) and then reference it. Doesn't have to be well-formed; it is enough for it to be well-balanced, just like the two <init-param> nodes you've shown above. <!ENTITY cust-init-params SYSTEM "/home/cust123/web.xml.d/params.xml" > And then reference it using "&cust-init-params;". It requires the parser used by Tomcat to expand entities. Don't know if it is appropriately configured by default. -- Michael Ludwig --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
