Question: Firefox favicon.ico issue

There is a known issue with Firefox and how works with java security.

Add an empty security constaint into your web.xml file for favicon.ico. Here is an example
<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>Entire Application</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/favicon.ico</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>
</security-constraint>
By leaving the <auth-constraint> tag out, anyone is allowed to access this file.
