war task webxml attribute

[Durham David R Jr Contr 805 CSPTS/SCE <Da...@scott.af.mil>]

Should the webxml attribute be required?  For one, you can leave it
empty and the wars work (at least in Tomcat -- not sure if that complies
with the spec.)

Also, I get an annoying warning about a web.xml being ignored.  Any way
to suppress this warning, or should I be using a different task?


Thanks,

Dave

Yes.  Isn't it?

Which may be due to the parahraph below.

Which means you include a WEB-INF/web.xml in your archive via
something other than the webxml attribute.

You should use the webxml attribute to point to your WEB-INF/web.xml
file and exclude that file from the rest you add to the archive.  Or
use <jar>.
