-----------------------------
Sorry, hit enter accidentally a min ago.
Actually, with Java EE5, web.xml is optional. For example, here is a link to
Java EE5 intro:
b
http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/J2EE/intro_ee5/
and it says:
For example, a simple web application that provides a web service and an index
page that describes the web service might contain only the following files:
* index.jsp
* image/logo.gif
* WEB-INF/classes/MyWebService.class
No web.xml, webservices.xml, or Java API for XML-based RPC (JAX-RPC) files are
required.
It would be great to implement this feature for everyone who uses maven to
build war file for this new optional web.xml feature in Java EE 5. Thanks. Lin

> I have a small webapp with a small number of jsps, to overlay on a larger
> webapp.
> The larger webapp already has a web.xml and the small one doesn't need one.
> I can't build a war of the small webapp, because the war-plugin requires a
> web.xml.
> I realise that a war-file without a web.xml might not be considered a comple
> war-file, and i only need it to unzip on top of the larger webapp.
> Maybe packaging the small webapp in a zip would be better?
