web.xml

[vivienne wykes]

Hi All,

I have a working shopping cart using jsp/java beans. I am confused as to
what the purspose of the web.xml file does in the great scheme of things.

Could anyone give me a short simple explanation of its purpose or point to
where I might find a simple explantion on the web. I am familliar with Java
and OO concepts.

regards

Viv
