Paul,

I avoid make changes to web.xml at deployment time, and I generally avoid
storing any app parameters in web.xml at all. Ive wasted a lot of time
figuring out why my app didnt work, or value didnt get picked up from xml. A

Often its because things in web.xml were not set in the right sequence, but
usually you will not get any error message anywhere informing you of this.

I think the best way to store your settings / parameters is to use your own
logic to load values from your own xml or properties file. That way you can
control how often its read, depending on the needs of your particular app.

cheers
Colin.W
