It’s easy enough to add a new servlet to a project (File | New | Servlet). But what about adding a servlet reference from a jar file to the web.xml? Netbeans, for example, makes this pretty straightforward. However I couldn’t find any easy way to quickly add a servlet class to a web.xml outside of editing the file directly.

Did I overlook something??

DaveO,
Our wizard only supports the creation of new servlets at this time, sorry about that.

To use a famous curse from Spongebob Squarepants…

TARTAR SAUCE!

Please add this to the list of things for future enhancement… 🙂

Hah, very applicable use of Spongebob.

Always nice to find another SB fan. The show is my son’s favorite.

Riyad,

Just as a frame of reference for you guys. The web.xml designer like the one in JBuilder (not exactly like that – just so you have an idea of what I’m asking for) would probably be a perfect way to remedy this without making a ‘wizard’. I just need something to facilitate quick modification to the Web.xml file, y’know? 😉

[Riyad Kalla]

I think I know what you mean, NetBeans has a fairly nice GUI overlay to all that XML as well for the web.xml file.

[David Orriss Jr]

Oh it does? I should poke it a bit and see if it’ll help me with some of this stuff as a “crutch” of sorts in the interim.
