Create the web.xml file

We need to add the milton filter to the WEB-INF/web.xml file for milton to load, and as part of setting that up we configure the hook which connects milton to our application.

So create the src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml file and then paste the following into it:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd"
version="2.4">

    <filter>
        <filter-name>MiltonFilter</filter-name>
        <filter-class>io.milton.servlet.MiltonFilter</filter-class>
        <init-param>
            <param-name>resource.factory.class</param-name>
            <param-value>com.mycompany.TResourceFactory</param-value>
        </init-param>
    </filter>

    <filter-mapping>
        <filter-name>MiltonFilter</filter-name>
        <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
    </filter-mapping>
</web-app>

And your project should then look like this:

(Oops! the init-param for milton.configurator shouldnt be there. I'll correct the image later)
