I am using Ecllipse IDE for developing web application, and i cant see the web.xml file under the web.inf folder.
In the Ecllipse IDE we have to create the web.xml file by ourself ? As i use Netbeans IDE the web.xml file is created by the IDE itself.
What kind of project did you create? If you create a "Dynamic Web Project" then a web.xml is pre-built for you (at WebContent/WEB-INF/web.xml). Then as you create servlets, their info is added to the web.xml.
i have selected the dynamic web project by unable to find the web.xml ... i am attaching the photo of the project please provide the guidance.
Thank you
Under the Web.inf there is only lib file no more web.xml file
The web.xml is now optional so it is not created by default. You have to check a checkbox in the Dynamic Web Project wizard. It's on the last page (Web Module) of the wizard : "Generate web.xml deployment descriptor".
It's not a big deal, you can add it later. In the Project Explorer, right-click "Deployment Descriptor" and select "Generate deployment descriptor stub". web.xml will be generated under WEB-INF.
