I am reading murach's book about jsp and servlets.
He uses netbeans(I am using intellij idea) and I am at a point when he uses the META-INF folder that netbeans creates to save a context.xml file there that contains a Resource tag with information about a connection pool.
The problem is that intellij idea projects do not contain such a folder.
What should I do?
Thank you!
Hello,
Personally when creating a new project (even for IntelliJ) I always prefer to use Maven's archetypes but that's just me.
You should be able to just create the directory (in the root of the src) and define it as a Source directory in the Project Settings. I'm going to fire up IntelliJ myself to see if this is correct.
Hey,
Ok so the Maven Archetype I use does not create the META-INF folder. All you need to do is create the directory in the src directory and include it as a source in your module (Ctrl-alt-shift-a, click on Modules, then on your module. In the sources tab (RHS) right click the META-INF folder and pick "Sources").
That should be all.
Hope I could help,
Laurent
I think that the META-INF folder must be created in the web directory and not the src directory.
That is what netbeans do.(In fact murach uses in his books netbeans)
Correct me if I am telling somthing wrong.
Thank you again.
I'm actually not entirely sure so I'm hoping that somebody with more experience can help me out on this.Quote:

Does this make any sense at all?

No matter how far down the wrong road you have gone, turn back now...

I created the whole folder and xml file by hand and it worked fine!
