Populating Web Module
After you enable Web development support in a module, IntelliJ IDEA sets up the basic module structure as follows:
-
Creates a
web
folder with theindex.jsp
stub file. By default, theweb
folder will be the root of your application after deployment and theindex.jsp
file will be its home page. -
Creates a
WEB-INFO
subfolder that contains theweb.xml
descriptor with anAction
servlet configured. -
Creates an
src
folder if you specified so when creating your project.
To populate the Web module, perform the following general steps:
-
Below the
src
folder, create the Java class files that implement the functionality of your application. - Configure the static Web content resources that represent the user interface.
- Specify the general application settings.
- Configure the application elements.
- Specify the assembly descriptor references.
