Note that there are two different types of web.xml files in Tomcat 3.x: There is a web.xml that sits in the top-level configuration directory TOMCAT_HOME/conf and then there can be a separate web.xml for each webapp in the directory WEB-INF for that webapp. You would want to keep webapp specific deployment information, such as initialization parameters and their values, in the web.xml specific to that webapp. The best on-line example that illustrates servlet initialization through a webapp’s deployment descriptor is, I believe, the ServletParam servlet in the test webapp in your Tomcat software package. This servlet can be called with two different canonical names, as for example in http://localhost:8080/test/servlet/se
