Description

Myfaces fails to parse a valid web.xml file. the problem seems to be the fact that i am using an xml include in
my web.xml. this works fine with a "standard" web application, not using myfaces. seems to be a problem with the path to the
included xml file.

the web.xml looks like :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE project [
<!ENTITY snippet SYSTEM "remoting_snippet.xml">
]>
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:web="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" id="WebApp_ID" version="2.5">
....
&snippet;
....
</web-app>

The remoting_snippet.xml contains the following content:

<servlet>
<servlet-name>remoting</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>
org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet
</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>remoting</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/remoting/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

the exception i get is the following one.
