Add web.xml in Spring Maven project

Question

In a Spring 'Maven' project, where to place web.xml file?

I am creating a spring mvc project and not sure about where to put web.xml in the project.

The location of web.xml is WEB-INF, and this doesn't change because you are using Spring. — Tim Biegeleisen

Thanks @TimBiegeleisen, but I don't have WEB-INF directory in Spring Tool Suite solution — Catalyst

If you don't even know where your web.xml file is, then maybe the framework is taking care of it for you. — Tim Biegeleisen

This is an example of a structure of Spring project with maven

├── src
│   └── main
│       ├── java
│       │   └── com
│       │       └── hellokoding
│       │           └── hello
│       │               └── web
│       │                   └── YourClass.java
│       ├── resources
│       │   ├── application.properties
│       │   └── logback.xml
│       └── webapp
│           ├── resources
│           │   ├── css
│           │   │   └── bootstrap.min.css
│           │   ├── images
│           │   └── js
│           │       └── bootstrap.min.js
│           └── WEB-INF
│               ├── views
│               │   └── hello.jsp
|               ├── appconfig-mvc.xml
│               ├── appconfig-root.xml 
│               └── web.xml 
└── pom.xml

Unless you really typed this out yourself, you should definitely add a source for this information.

it's WEB-INF/web.xml Check out the below link ref: https://docs.oracle.com/javaee/5/tutorial/doc/bnadx.html No matter how your archetype structures the project, the final build always follow the specifications. I know the frameworks like spring hides all the specification details and nowadays newbies don't pay attention to all such details. Well knowing specifications and how the frameworks are constructed over these specifications adds value to your software development skills.

web.xml file is always inside WEB-INF folder, by default Maven is expecting it in there and its the first location that is being searched for a web.xml file.
