This feature is supported in Ultimate edition only.
After you enable Web development support in a module, IntelliJ IDEA sets up the basic module structure as follows:
-
Creates a
webfolder with theindex.jspstub file. By default, thewebfolder will be the root of your application after deployment and theindex.jspfile will be its home page. -
Creates a
WEB-INFOsubfolder that contains theweb.xmldescriptor with anActionservlet configured. -
Creates an
srcfolder if you specified so when creating your project.
-
Below the
srcfolder, create the Java class files that implement the functionality of your application. - Configure the static Web content resources that represent the user interface.
- Configure the application elements.
- Specify the assembly descriptor references.
