AXIS sample and deployment descriptor conformity

[Greg Truty <gt...@us.ibm.com>]

Folks,

While attempting to install the AXIS sample on another app. server, I
noticed that the web.xml in the AXIS web-app sample doesn't conform to the
servlet spec.  The web.xml states:

<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>AxisServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>servlet/AxisServlet</url-pattern>
<url-pattern>*.jws</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

The servlet spec's DTD indicates that for servlet-mapping, the format is:
<!ELEMENT servlet-mapping (servlet-name, url-pattern)>
This is a single servlet-name, url-pattern mapping per servlet-mapping
element.  You can change to the format below and still have it work.

<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>AxisServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>servlet/AxisServlet</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>AxisServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.jws</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

Regards...Greg
