This is because if we want to have a large user database with say 500 users, and make a separate security constraint for each user to protect his directories from the other users we will have quite a large web.xml file. Each security constraint has 602 bytes(characters), that would make 500*602 = 301000 bytes = 300 Kb(for 500 users). Any problems with that? What about the really large stuff(fortunately not our case)? If you would make a public Webmail and have say 1 000 000(one million) users? That would make 602 Million bytes = 602 Megabyte web.xml file. Quite large, isn't it ? :))) Thanks Roland
