Hi,

I’m starting work on a web project originally created in IntelliJ and the structure is such that the folders

META-INF
WEB-INF
resources

start from the project’s root.

Where this project is currently deployed live, files in the resources folder are referenced from the root, like so:
http://server/myProject/fileInResourcesFolder.gif
rather than:
http://server/myProject/resources/fileInResourcesFolder.gif

In the project tree is a file from IntelliJ called myProject-webapp.iml and it has the entry
<webroots>
<root url=”file://$MODULE_DIR$/resources” relative=”/resources” />
<root url=”file://$MODULE_DIR$/WEB-INF” relative=”/WEB-INF” />
</webroots>
which I guess makes this possible, to deploy from both resources and WEB-INF to a common root on the server.

So my question is: How can I deploy from both resources and WEB-INF to a common webapp root on the server, without refactoring the project’s tree?

People will be working on this also in IntelliJ and I wouldn’t want to disturb their config by rearranging the tree. And preferably I would like to be able to use the Deploy to server feature in the IDE, rather than creating a custom Ant script or such.

Thanks for any hints,
/Björn

I’m sorry but there is not way to customize the deployment like you want here. The projects which are deployed using MyEclipse have to confine to the structure mentioned here:-

Thanks for the reply.

Then I can at least stop looking for where to do this 🙂 Maybe I’ll convince the team to refactor the tree…
