that's much better said then the original error message:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Filter mapping must specify
either a <url-pattern> or a <servlet-name>

I think plain english should be banned from error messages, for me an
"or" is inclusive! It should say something like:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Filter mapping must not specify
both <url-pattern> and <servlet-name>

and reserve the other error message for when neither element is specified...
