The dd editor is really great and helpful. But, to me it creates the impression that EVERYTHING related to web.xml can be done in dd editor. But, for example, the following cannot be done in dd editor: <taglib> <login-config> <security-constraint> I think that everything described in web.xml schema should be possible in dd editor. (I realize that this will not be done for 4.1 and that it probably is planned for later, but just wanted to enter this issue for the record.)
Another 2 big Views are planned : References View - EJB References - EJB Local References - Env Entries - Resource References - Resource Env References - Service References - Message Destination References Security View : - Login Config - Security Constraints - Security Role References (for servlets) It was not time to implement everything for 4.1 That was not the goal.
TM 5.0->TBD
Update on this: References View and Security View have been implemented, adding tag libraries in dd editor is not planned for 5.5.
