Question

first servlet/jsp application, just need some clarifications

Answer 1

A:

One option, becaue you have Netbeans, is to do this using Maven. Maven is an external build system (and much more) that netbeans can use. Create a new project and select a Maven project. Then create a simple Java web application (or a spring application if you want to dive right in). The directory structure that is set up will be correct.

Worth a try, I guess, but my suspicion is that Maven will lead to more problems than it fixes. I've had trouble with Maven every time I tried this kind of thing.

The spring tutorial isn't using the maven standard layout so this won't help. http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-standard-directory-layout.html

To be a little more specific, Maven *will* set up and insist on a directory structure radically different from what's outlined in the Spring tutorial; so not much gained there. Just my opinion, of course.

Answer 2

A:

As an Eclipse user, I'm not really good with NetBeans. But I do know that the "internal build system" is based on Ant and a pretty elaborate project framework Ant file.

You could dig your way through the maze of files and targets and fix the problem manually, but my suggestion would be to adapt the Spring tutorial's names to the directory structure NetBeans gave you.

Here's the Spring tutorial reworked for NetBeans.
