Web Application Template in Tomcat

Here is a simple template for directory structure when you are setting up your new web application. I used the following structure for our intranet application

$ mkdir intranet
$ cd intranet
$ mkdir -p docs src web web/WEB-INF build dist
  

Your Makefile or ant build should create files into build or dist, where they will be ready for deployment. See the application developers guide in the links below for a general guide on what should go into each of these directories.
