I would really like to see test cases and regression tests in this area.
Do you know if we are testing these dual configs (context.xml and
sun-web.xml) for conflicts or duplication?
Where is the spec/doc describing the runtime behaviour?
As you might know it is very easy with NetBeans to switch back and forth
between Tomcat testing and GlassFish testing, so that your web app can
work in both servers, all the time... So a description of the behaviour,
as well as tests to validate the designed behaviour are critical.
