Modifying web.xml for Packages, Input Values

• web.xml is a configuration file in Tomcat for our servlets. In it you will find common configuration information, in XML format. We can put our own configuration information in there as well and read it into our servlet.
• web.xml can be found in installation directory/webapps/application directory/WEB-INF/web.xml
• Let's make a servlet that will display a bank name based on an input parameter.
• Of course, if we wanted to deploy this at another bank, all we would need to do is change that entry in web.xml.
• Also, let's put the servlet in a package.
• We can have Tomcat resolve that package name by putting another entry in web.xml.
• PersonalBanking.java

Update: Please see Bb for the updated example.
