web.xml tags extensible?

[Zhenxin wang <zh...@docomolabs-usa.com>]

Can the tags in web.xml file be extensible? We want to define some new tags to carry more info about the servlets.

Thanks!

In Servlet 2.3 and earlier, the web application deployment descriptor is
not extensible.  In Servlet 2.4, validation of the deployment descriptor
will be based on XML Schema, so an "extensibillity" element was defined
for precisely the kind of thing your are describing.

See the public draft of the Servlet 2.4 spec for details, particularly
Chapter 13.
