Disable DTD Validation for web.xml

[Kevin Grey <KG...@dynamicsoft.com>]

 
Heya,
 
            I was wondering if its possible to disable DTD validation for
the web.xml for a specific WAR file (or across an entire Tomcat engine)?

Does not seem so: At least for Tomcat 3.3 the following is documented in
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-3.3-doc/serverxml.html#WebXmlReader:

  <WebXmlReader validate="false" />

Don't know if it works, though. Always preferred making my files
valid. ;-)

Not without changing the Tomcat sources.  IMHO, this would be a really
unwise thing for people to do to themselves, because it basically
guarantees that your app would not be portable even if it just happened to
run on Tomcat.
