This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
I can modify web.xml from within the IDE, open and close the file and see my changes fine but these changes are never saved to disk. I mean to say, if you save the file under Netbeans it'll seem to have succeeded but if you check the actual file on disk you'll notice no changes were saved. It looks as if Netbeans is retrieving the modified file from memory somewhere and never flushing its changes to disk. Upon restarting the IDE, any changes are lost.
Forgot to mention: dev build 200508231800
Already fixed in 20050825-0258 - wait for next daily build or use 200508211800 (at least I use it). Note that there's still opened similar Struts servlet issue 63014. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 62880 ***
