Re: init function when deploying war in Tomcat server

[James Reeves]

Could you create an example project that suffers from this problem?

The version of Ring doesn't have any bearing on whether the :init
function is called, but there are a couple odd things in the code you
have provided.

Setting servlet-path-info? to false is unusual if you're deploying via
a war file (I can't think of many instances where it would have the
right result), and it's also odd to put the web.xml file into the
resources directory, which would result in the file being included
twice in the resulting war file.

Turns out that the problem was that we are using our own web.xml and hadn't defined a listener in the xml for the listener class that ring generates. 

You were spot on about the web.xml being in the wrong place.
