Grails 3 custom web.xml and weblogic.xml

Grails 2 documentation says that is it possible, but Grails 3 documentation didn't says nothing about.

How can I add a custom web.xml and weblogic.xml to a Grails 3 application war?

I just came across this from the JavaOne talk that Graeme Rocher gave on October 24, 2015. It looks like web.xml is no longer supported.

Here is the the video, it's about one hour into the presentation. (Slides are available for download on the site). Here are some screenshots from the presentation:

Grails 3.x does not use web.xml. Customizations must be done in Spring. New servlets and filters can be registered as Spring beans or with ServletRegistrationBean and FilterRegistrationBean respectively.

Documentation for configuring Spring Beans in Grails: https://grails.github.io/grails-doc/3.0.x/guide/spring.html

Information gathered from http://grails.github.io/grails-doc/latest/guide/single.html#upgradingApps

The article does mention, poorly worded, "although it is still possible to have on in src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml"

Try creating a web.xml file located in src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/ and see if this solves your issue.

In previous version of grails you could run:

grails install-templates

This would generate the web.xml grails uses to build your application.
