multiple web.xml

Yes it is possible.

You can use xml entities

http://www.xml.com/pub/a/98/08/xmlqna2.html#ENTDECL

I don't know if there is a better syntax / way to do it, but this one has just worked for me (Tomcat 5)

This example declares an entity called "servlets" as coming from the file servletDefs.xml.

It gets included in web.xml with "&servlets;"

web.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<!DOCTYPE webxmlspliiter [

><!ENTITY servlets SYSTEM "servletDefs.xml">

]>

<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"

xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd"

version="2.4">

<display-name>Welcome to Tomcat</display-name>

<description>

Welcome to Tomcat

</description>

&servlets;

<error-page>

<error-code>404</error-code>

<location>/404Error.jsp</location>

</error-page>

</web-app>

servletDefs.xml

<servlet>

<servlet-name>MyJSP</servlet-name>

<jsp-file>/index.jsp</jsp-file>

<init-param>

<param-name>Param1</param-name>

<param-value>value1</param-value>

</init-param>

<init-param>

<param-name>Param2</param-name>

<param-value>value2</param-value>

</init-param>

</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>

<servlet-name>MyJSP</servlet-name>

<url-pattern>/MyJSP</url-pattern>

</servlet-mapping>

That at least will let you split up parts of your web.xml
