Servlet Directory Structure

Hello friends; Hitesh is here today I will show you how to create servlet directory structure.

• While creating web applications, we should follow the standard directory structure, provided by the sum microsystem.
• Sun microsystem has given this directory structure to make a web application as server independent. A web application principle is to write once deploy anywhere (WODA).
• According to the directory structure, an application contains a root folder with any name.
• Under root folder, a subfolder is required with the name “WEB-INF”.
• Under “WEB-INF” two subfolder are required classes and lib.

• In “WEB-INF” folder put web.xml files.
• In classes folder put all the .class files.
• In lib folder put ojdbc14.jar.
• In root folder we put jsp, .gif (images), all html files.
