Changing a Web Module Directory Into a Standard Directory
See Also
A web module directory has a particular structure
as defined by the J2EE specification. By recognizing this structure,
the IDE is able to associate the appropriate actions for this type of
component.
On occasion, you might want to reverse the creation of a web module. This situation
might arise if you converted a filesystem in error or simply no longer needed
to operate on a filesystem as a web module.
To change a web module directory into a standard directory:
- In the Filesystems pane of the Explorer, locate the web module directory
you want to convert to a standard directory.
- Open the web module's WEB-INF subdirectory.
- Select the deployment descriptor, that is, web.xml, file within that
directory.
- From the main menu, choose
Edit
Delete.
The filesystem no longer conforms to the requirements of a web module
or has web module actions associated with it. However, the filesystem
remains mounted in the IDE, and its files remain accessible, just like any
other mounted filesystem.
