Step 4: Create the Web Application Deployment Descriptor

The Web application deployment descriptor is an XML file that describes the Web application's initialization parameters, servlets, and other components. Here is the Web application deployment descriptor for the HelloUserWikExample application. The boxes contain explanatory comments.

Note: The line breaks in the loggingURL and SystemPropsFile values are for display purposes only. If you copy this example into your XML file, then you must put these statements on one line.

For more information about creating Web application deployment descriptors, see the documentation for your servlet container.
