No, if you edit the file properly (e.g. add additional servlets, change
the servlet mapping of opencms) then opencms will still run.
BUT: if you upgrade, you have to take care to either not overwrite the
web.xml with it's updated version -OR- to re-do your manual changes to
the web.xml that comes with each updated version of opencms
