Yes he does (not to speak for JF, of course... :-)

Yes. This has bitten me before, in this and other contexts -- it turns
out that the default-web.xml is consulted only during deployment, and
not during runtime. When an app is deployed, it inherits whatever
settings are in default-web.xml *at that time*, and a web.xml is built
based on the web.xml from the war file and whatever settings aren't
overridden from default-web.xml. That web.xml is stored in the
generated/j2ee-{apps,modules}/... directory, and that web.xml is the
only thing that controls an apps behavior during runtime.
