Hmmm, maybe we need to think about someway to hook this into the build
process or make it easier to just drop it into the conf or lib dirs.
I'm no web.xml expert, but I'm sure you're not the first one to want
to do this kind of thing.
The easiest way _might_ be to patch build.xml to take a property for
the location of the web.xml, defaulting to the current Solr one.
Then, people who want to use their own version could just pass in -
Dweb.xml=<path to my web.xml>. The downside to this is that it may
cause problems for us devs when users ask questions about strange
behavior and it turns out they have mucked up the web.xml
FYI: dist-war is in build.xml, not common-build.xml.

Hi folks,
I just wrote a Servlet Filter to handle authentication for our
service. Here's what I did:
1. Created a dir in contrib
2. Put my project in there, I took the dataimporthandler build.xml as
an example and modified it to suit my needs. Worked great!
3. ant dist now builds my jar and includes it
I now need to modify web.xml to add my filter-mapping, init params,
etc. How can I do this cleanly? Or do I need to manually open up the
archive and edit it and then re-war it?
In common-build I don't see a target for dist-war, so don't see how it
is possible...
Thanks!
Jacob
