The global web.xml file sets configuration parameters that apply to all contexts. The web.xml file, located in the <installdir>\conf\servlet directory, maps common file extensions to mime-types and sets resources to handle global error pages. Many installations require no changes to the global web.xml file.

The global web.xml file does not define a context, so this file should not define or map servlets, filters, listeners, or named objects. The HydraExpress Agent ignores any such definitions or mappings in the global web.xml file.

For more information, see Context Does Not Load in the HydraExpress Servlet Development Guide.
