--- Comment #4 from Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> 2009-12-17 08:16:39 GMT --- (In reply to comment #2) > SRV.14.5 of Servlet 2.5 says that if “metadata-complete” attribute is absent, > it must be treated the same way as having the value of "false". > > Thus, if we allow to specify it in global conf/web.xml, setting it to "true" > there will result in violation of the spec. I disagree. The spec does not consider the concept of a global or default web.xml. A global web.xml is a Tomcat invention and one where Tomcat controls how it is to be interpreted, not the spec. The convention is the the global web.xml sets the defaults for all application web.xml files unless explicitly overridden at the application level. Hence the behaviour with the patch applied is as expected. -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
