I think I may know what is going on. In your working web.xml you have set your servlet to be the default servlet (/ by itself is the default servlet called if there are no other matches), it will answer any request that doesn’t match another mapping. In Failed 1 your /* mapping does appear … Read more
is there a way to have two web.xml files and select the appropriate one depending on the profile? Yes, within each profile you can add a configuration of the maven-war-plugin and configure each to point at a different web.xml. <profiles> <profile> <id>profile1</id> <build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <webXml>/path/to/webXml1</webXml> </configuration> </plugin> … As an alternative … Read more
Generally speaking, this is the configuration file of web applications in java. It instructs the servlet container (tomcat for ex.) which classes to load, what parameters to set in the context, and how to intercept requests coming from browsers.

What is the easiest method for me to safely move all html/js/images folders under the WEB-INF without breaking all links/forwarding to resources in these folders and make sure these resources are not directly accessible? You’re making a thiniking mistake here. HTML/JS/image (and CSS) resources need to be directly accessible anyway. For JSPs the story is … Read more
No, it’s not necessary. It means that your web application only available through HTTPS (and not available through HTTP). If you omit the <transport-guarantee>CONFIDENTIAL</transport-guarantee> tag (or the whole <security-constraint>) your application will be available through both HTTP and HTTPS. If your web.xml contains <transport-guarantee>CONFIDENTIAL</transport-guarantee> Tomcat automatically redirects the requests to the SSL port if you … Read more

However, since JSF 2.0, Facelets is integrated as part of JSF, replacing legacy JSP as the default view technology, and most of the Facelets 1.x … Read more
You can use Ant-style variable substitution in any of the tomcat xml config files, such as: <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>mvc-dispatcher</servlet-name> <url-pattern>${foo}</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> Where foo is a Java System Property (sysprop). You can’t use OS Environment Variables (envvars) directly, I think… To use envvars, you can put set “CATALINA_OPTS=-DsomeJavaSysProp=%SOME_OS_ENVVAR%” in bin/setenv.bat (or similarly in bin/setenv.sh for *nix). You … Read more
You don’t need a web.xml file if you have a container that supports the latest j2ee specs. Here is a link to an simple servlet example that use an annotation and here you can find the same for Spring MVC; I post the example here for you convenience public class MyWebApplicationInitializer implements WebApplicationInitializer { @Override … Read more
I would try the following: <security-constraint> <web-resource-collection> <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> <http-method>GET</http-method> <http-method>POST</http-method> </web-resource-collection> <!– no auth-constraint tag here –> </security-constraint> <security-constraint> <web-resource-collection> <web-resource-name>restricted methods</web-resource-name> <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> </web-resource-collection> <auth-constraint/> </security-constraint> The first security-constraint does not have any auth-constraint, so the GET and POST methods are available to anyone without login. The second restricts other http methods for everybody. (I … Read more
