Eclipse not deploying my web app properly

eclipse, maven, spring, spring-mvc

Solution

Since it is a maven project .

you might have converted maven project to dynamic web project I guess.

Follow the steps

Go to project properties (right click at last click peoperties)

click/select Deployment assembly at the left side

the root(/) deploy path may be pointing to src/main/webapp , select this and click remove button

click on add button , select a directive type folder, select your WebContent folder

Now try to clean and run your application on server.

Solution 2

- Actually you need to copy/put all your WebContent files and folder to src/main/webapp

and restart your server.

Note that the maven dynamic web project it always look in to src/main/webapp by default.

Hope it helps

Problem

I am trying to create a base Spring project with Maven on Eclipse Kepler (with m2eclipse installed). No errors are reported by Eclipse but when I hit Run on Server (or run Maven Install) only the original files from META-INF and WEB-INF files are deployed. This does not include my dispatcher-servlet.xml config file thus causing a `FileNotFoundException`: ``` java.io.FileNotFoundException: Could not open ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/dispatcher-servlet.xml] ``` How can I fix this? This is my web.xml: ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" version="2.5"> <servlet> <servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name> <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class> <init-param> <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name> <param-value> /WEB-INF/dispatcher-servlet.xml </param-value> </init-param> <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> </web-app> ``` And this is a screencap of my project's folder: As you can see only selected files are shown in Deployed resources.
