Understand the Directory Structure

1. Private files should be located in the WEB-INF directory, under the root directory

   • All files under WEB-INF are private, and are not served to a client.

2. WebApplicationName/

   • Place your static files, such as HTML files and JSP files in this directory (or a subdirectory). This directory is the document root of your Web Application

3. /WEB-INF/web.xml

   • •The Web Application deployment descriptor that configures the Web Application.

4. /WEB-INF/weblogic.xml

   • The WebLogic--specific deployment descriptor file that defines how named resources in the web.xml file are mapped to resources residing elsewhere in WebLogic Server. This file is also used to define JSP and HTTP session attributes.

5. /WEB-INF/classes

   • Contains server-side classes such as HTTP servlets and utility classes.

6. /WEB-INF/lib

   • Contains .jar files used by the Web Application.
