Previously entered and removed garbage text will return after editing web.xml with a form and switching back to source view. Create a web project. Create a web.xml file. Edit the web.xml using the source view. Add some random text [a-z] after </session-config> that does not include greater than or less than symbols. (file should not be valid) Remove random text (file should be valid) Press the security form button. Use the security form to add a role. Press the source button. The first garbage character will now have returned to the web.xml file. Every time you delete the garbage, edit the file with a form and switch back to source it'll reappear.
Valid issue.

Very intricate code. First removes all irrelevant(i.e. comments and break lines) nodes. Then the relevant child nodes is merged, irrelevant just inserted. But when node is not bean, it is not merged. (when user type 'a' and then type 'b' in the model exist only 'a' other symbols disappear). But when user type char 'a' and then remove it xml node become irrelevant, so char 'a' will not removed. The global question is why merge algorithm needed? It is does not work correctly, despite the bug is fixed, the comments do not merged also there is no algorithm to resolve conflicts. Perhaps it is better just replace old WebAppProxy with the new (DDDataObject.java line 299)?
Petre, can you please review this patch and integrate it if you find the changes all right? Thanks!
Applied in web-main 25514e39dfe1. Hopefully it won't break anything. Thanks for the contribution.

Reopening as tests are failing.
web-main 55cc75cd1427. I have changed the DDDataObject. Please verify. This could potentially break other things.
