versions 2.3 and 2.4 of web.xml
Only just noticed this, looks like a possible bug, but maybe there's a
reason behind it?
Basically, the default web.xml files included within the standard webapps of
5.0.27 and 5.0.28 seem to be a mix of webapp v2.3 and v2.4 - anyone know if
there is a reason for this, or is this a bug?

Yoav, I see your point in your previousu post on this thread re 2.3 DTD
still being valid. However what do you think regarding the possible bug
mentioned in my later post below? (i.e. that a 2.4 feature used in a 2.3
file does not cause an exception, but instead is silently ignored). The
validation that tomcat does on web.xml is usually very thorough, so this
case seems to be a bit of an anomaly.

RE: versions 2.3 and 2.4 of web.xml

Further to my note below, plus my previous posts on "Who has got
<include-prelude> to work?", I think I might have stumbled across the
answers to both myself.
Basically my web.xml files were based on the v2.3 files that shipped with
the standard installation, and using these seems to have silently suppressed
the 2.4 features, including <include-prelude>.
Not sure if this is a bug - if web.xml encounters a tag which it knows is
valid in its current version, but not in the earlier version declared in the
<web-app> tag, should an exception be thrown, or should it silently ignore
it?
