WebXML Plugin

2008.03.11: Version 1.0

2008.12.09: Version 1.2

This plugin enables a Grails application to control certain aspects of the web.xml file generated by Grails without having to resort to editing the web.xml template file or having to write a plugin in order to use the plugin doWithWebDescriptor closure.

This plugin provides a set of features that can be enabled to add items to the web.xml file. It installs a File WebXmlConfig to your conf directory with samples in it.

This list of supported features include:

  • FilterChainProxy Delegator: this features installs a org.springframework.web.filter.DelegatingFilterProxy pointing to a FilterChainProxy bean. The bean can then be configured by the application's resources.groovy file.
  • Add Config Listeners
  • Add Context Parameters
_NOTE: This plugin may become obsolete in a future release of Grails if and when the ability to participate in the generation of the web.xml file is integrated into an application configuration file, like it is now through grails-app/conf/spring/resources.groovy._
