[jira] Commented: (MWAR-30) I can't build a war-file without a web.xml.

Petr Kozelka commented on MWAR-30:
----------------------------------

Also when using war overlays, it makes pretty good sense to create a war without web.xml and add this file in an overlay.
I suggest at least to add configuration option allowing WARs without web.xml, defaulting to current behavior.

> I have a small webapp with a small number of jsps, to overlay on a larger webapp.
> The larger webapp already has a web.xml and the small one doesn't need one.
> I can't build a war of the small webapp, because the war-plugin requires a web.xml.
> I realise that a war-file without a web.xml might not be considered a comple war-file, and i only need it to unzip on top of the larger webapp.
> Maybe packaging the small webapp in a zip would be better?
