Project Compiler Output and Tomcat

Hi,
I want the compiler output to go directly to my Tomcat webapp. E.g. /opt/tomcat/webapps/myapp/WEB-INF/classes/**

But instead the compiler output goes to /opt/tomcat/webapps/myapp/WEB-INF/classes/production/myapp/**

This is apparently not even configurable (..?)

So then how is the automatic deployment to Tomcat supposed to work? What changes do I need to make to Project Compiler Output (or others).

Note that the other resources and libraries are working well: they do get deployed directly and correctly to /opt/tomcat/webapps/myapp (resources)
and /opt/tomcat/webapps/myapp/WEB-INF/lib (jars)


thanks,

stephen b

Projectsettings, Select the Module, Select Paths-Tab, Click "Use Module Compile Output Path" and then enter the Path in "Output Path"

A Better approach is to create a Web-Module facet and set it up to maintain your Web-Application

HI Hans,
I see the option you mention, and changed the compiler output path for the module. But now after making a change to the java source and making the module again, I can't even find .class compilation anywhere underneath WEB-INF/classes. I double-checked that the path is correct.. That's strange..

On the second point, I already had a web module associated with this.

Hi again,
It seems that the class files were being overwritten from old copies that I have since removed, so your original post does work.

thanks!
