| Item | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Name | The name of the facet. |
| Deployment Descriptors |    Form the list of  [deployment descriptors](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deployment_descriptor) for your application.      ![the Add button](https://resources.jetbrains.com/help/img/idea/2026.2/app.expui.general.add.svg) `Alt+Insert` (Windows), `⌘ N` (macOS), `⌃ N` (IntelliJ IDEA Classic (macOS)), `⌘ N` (macOS System Shortcuts), `Alt+Insert` (XWin), `Alt+Insert` (GNOME), `Alt+Insert` (KDE), `Alt+Insert` (Emacs), `Ctrl+N` (Sublime Text), `⌘ N` (Sublime Text (macOS)), `Alt+Insert` (NetBeans), `Ctrl+N` (Visual Studio), `⌘ N` (Visual Studio (macOS)), `Alt+Insert` (Eclipse), `⌘ N` (Eclipse (macOS)). Create   `web.xml` and add it to the list. The function is not active if the corresponding descriptor is already present in the list.      ![the Remove button](https://resources.jetbrains.com/help/img/idea/2026.2/app.expui.general.remove.svg) `Alt+Delete` (Windows), `⌘ ⌦` (macOS), `⌘ ⌦` (IntelliJ IDEA Classic (macOS)), `⌘ ⌦` (macOS System Shortcuts), `Alt+Delete` (XWin), `Alt+Delete` (GNOME), `Alt+Delete` (KDE), `Alt+Delete` (Emacs), `Alt+Delete` (Sublime Text), `⌘ ⌦` (Sublime Text (macOS)), `Alt+Delete` (NetBeans), `Ctrl+R, D` (Visual Studio), `⌘ R, D` (Visual Studio (macOS)), `Alt+Delete` (Eclipse), `Alt+Delete` (Eclipse (macOS)). Remove the selected descriptor from the list.      ![the Edit button](https://resources.jetbrains.com/help/img/idea/2026.2/app.expui.general.edit.svg) `Enter` (Windows), `⏎` (macOS), `⏎` (IntelliJ IDEA Classic (macOS)), `⏎` (macOS System Shortcuts), `Enter` (XWin), `Enter` (GNOME), `Enter` (KDE), `Enter` (Emacs), `Enter` (Sublime Text), `⏎` (Sublime Text (macOS)), `Enter` (NetBeans), `Enter` (Visual Studio), `⏎` (Visual Studio (macOS)), `Enter` (Eclipse), `⏎` (Eclipse (macOS)). Replace the selected descriptor with another one of the same type.      Add Application Server specific descriptor. Create an application server-specific deployment descriptor   (for example `glassfish-web.xml`, `jboss-web.xml`) and add it to the list.    |
| Web Resource Directories ![the Web Resource folder](https://resources.jetbrains.com/help/img/idea/2026.2/app.nodes.webFolder.svg)  |    Specify the directories that contain your web app resources such as web pages, images, etc. (the Web Resource Directory column) and their locations in the corresponding [artifact](working-with-artifacts.html) (the Path Relative to Deployment Root column).      For the resource directories to be included in an artifact, you should make sure that the artifact configuration contains a Web facet resources element. (All the resource directories are included in an artifact as a whole.) In that case, / in the Path Relative to Deployment Root column corresponds to the root of that element in the artifact configuration.   |
|  Source Roots   |    Select the [source roots](null) to be included in an [artifact](working-with-artifacts.html). Note:       * If the '<ModuleName>' compile output element is present in an artifact configuration, the classes for all the source roots are included in the corresponding artifact irrespective of which source roots are selected here.    * To include only the classes from the source roots selected on this page, use the following when configuring the artifact: ![](https://resources.jetbrains.com/help/img/idea/2026.2/app.expui.general.add.svg) `\| JavaEE Facet Classes \| Web (in <ModuleName>)`. As a result, the corresponding element in the artifact configuration will be shown as '<ModuleName>' module: 'Web' facet classes.   |
