Re: WEB.XML changes and init parm settings in WebSphere

With respect to question #1, by default the web.xml is read from the
[instance_root]/config/cells/cellname/applications/applicationname.ear/deployment/applicationname/....
 directory structure. Not from under the installedApps directory structure.
If you change the web.xml file under the config directory structure for the
Express instance, you should only need to restart the application to have
the changes take affect.

Two part question:

#1  We have a servlet running in WebSphere Express 5.1 on the iSeries with
init parms in web.xml.  Changes to web.xml in the ....installedApps/
directory donât seem to take effect even when RESTARTING the application or
even the application server that the web app is in.

When is web.xml read by WAS express and what is the recommended method
forcing a ârestartâ and therefore a reread of web.xml?

#2  Related, when delivering a .war file with a web.xml file in it that
needs to be customized by end users prior to installation into WebSphere,
what is the easiest way to accomplish this?  We are currently having them
unzip the .war, make the changes to web.xml and rezip but there has to be a
better way Iâm hoping.

Thanks,  Paul Holm
