To access the SIP Preference Page select Window -> Preferences -> SIP.
The SIP Preference Page contains the following options:If Option 1 is selected, the web.xml file will automatically be updated with SIP content.
If Option 2 is selected, you will be prompted to update the web.xml file when saving the sip.xml file, regardless of the setting of Option 1.
By default, both options are enabled. Each behavior can be disabled by de-selecting the option.
WebSphere Application Server 6.1 requires that the web.xml be updated with sip.xml content. If the web.xml is not updated, a warning message will display in the Problems View. This typically occurs if the automatic update of web.xml is disabled or if No is selected on the update dialog.
You can choose to manually update the web.xml file. Right click the sip.xml file in the Project Explorer, then select Sip Operations -> Update web.xml from the context menu. Use this method to quickly modify the file, and clear the update warning messages, if you have disabled automatic updating.
