First of all setup Eclipse Ganymede for Java EE and add to it a Tomcat6 server, as described in my previous tutorial.<\/p>\n

Choose, from the File<\/em> menu New, Dynamic Web Project<\/em> in the option panel, give a name to the project (i.e. Struts2-Rest<\/em>), choose a Target Runtime (that you should have already defined, in my case, Apache Tomcat v.6.0) and click Next.<\/p>\n

\"New

New Dynamic Web Project<\/p><\/div>\n

Here you can define the web application context root, that’s the relative path where it will be accessibile, if you choose Struts2-Rest<\/code> as context root, your application will be accessible on http:\/\/www.yourserver.com\/Struts2-Rest<\/code> or http:\/\/localhost:8080\/Struts2-Rest<\/code> if you use the default Tomcat configuration provided by Eclipse (with the Tomcat HTTP Connector on the port 8080)<\/p>\n

The Content Directory<\/em> parameters defines the directory inside your project where is located the “root” of the .war you’re going to generate, use the default WebContent<\/code> directory.<\/p>\n

And, obviously, Java Source Directory<\/em> defines the directory where your Java sources will be stored. Just for your information, after compilation, the generated .class<\/code> files are automatically moved by Eclipse into WebContent\/WEB-INF\/classes<\/code>.<\/p>\n

\"New

New Dynamic Web Project - Web Module<\/p><\/div>\n

Just click finish. Your brand new project will appear in the Project Explorer<\/em><\/p>\n

The Deployment Descriptor is obviously associated with the web.xml<\/em> file. The Java Resources (src<\/code>) contains your source code, and WebContent<\/code> contains all the .jsp<\/code> files, the static contents (images, css, javascripts) and the WEB-INF directory of your .war that will contain the compiled classes (in \/WEB-INF\/classes<\/code>) and the libraries (in \/WEB-INF\/lib<\/code>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
