Servlet wizard

    Several enhancements are introduced to the Servlet wizard. The most noticeable are:
    • Initialization parameters are now displayed in a table view. The user can easily see parameter's name, value and description.
    • Servlet mappings are now validated. If a user enters an invalid servlet mapping, then an error message appears and the wizard cannot be finished.

    A new wizard is introduced for generating Servlet Filters stubs. Servlet Filters are web artifacts described in chapter SRV.6 of the Servlet specification.
    Several limitations are still going to be resolved in the next milestone:
    • XDoclet support
    • Infopop help
    • A wizard page with modifiers, interfaces and abstract method options

    There are now three wizards for creating web artifacts:

    They represents the web artifacts based on Java classes. For easier access these wizards are now available in the context menu of the Dynamic Web Project as a separate action group.
