... The Middling Tale ... Order of elements in web.xml is very important. So when you go to create your second 'couplet', make sure all your <servlet> tags are declared before your <servlet-mapping> tags. You'll maybe want to keep the 'couplets' together, because it will be easier to see which one belongs to which, but don't do it!
I've been writing the <servlet-mapping> tag just after its own <servlet> tag and I haven't had problems. Does any one knows why don't keep 'couplets' together? [ August 31, 2008: Message edited by: Angel J Gama ]
In practice it is easier to manage by coupling the servlet and servlet-mappings, as it is easier to manage if you end up with a large number of servlets ie it scales better.
