Hey Grant, since we are obviously having the same problems, I wanted to compare notes and see if you are by chance saving your project and module files in a different directory structure from your content. I have been suspect of this setup as being the culprit, but I haven't had the time to research this in-depth. Sure wish I could get some feedback from Jetbrains on this problem.

OK, that obviously isn't to blame then. As of 1113 I still can't save web.xml either. Worse than that, now the web.xml setting in the module config defaults to nothing whereas before it defaulted to web.xml in the content root. Therefore every time I start up I have to navigate to the correct dir and set it. Not too bad for you since you are at d:\dp, but my content root is many dirs deep into a drive. Can't wait for this to get fixed.
Chris, could you please send me your sample project where you are unable to save paths, since I still have no luck reproducing it with Grant's settings. Thank you.

Alexey, Maybe you can detail what steps you go through to setup a web module since perhaps there is something that Chris and I do that somehow messes things up later down the line that you aren't seeing because you didn't do exactly what we did. I am surprised you can't reproduce since I can reproduce on any machine here as long as I use our current project structure. I installed on a fresh machine with no imported settings or anything and then setup a web module from scratch and it still would not save the web.xml location and the web content root. I am going to attach my web.xml since perhaps that is the problem.
Hi Grant, I have been able to get my web.xml settings to save but I am not sure EXACTLY what I did to get it working. The only major thing that I have changed is that prior to today I did not have Generic Application server configured in my Project settings under "App Server Integration" (I only had Weblogic configured). Possibly by coincidence, once I configured the Generic Application server tab and recreated my Module (not the whole project, just the web module), now my web.xml and Web Resource Directories are saved in the iml, even though I am selecting Weblogic support. Just curious to see if you have the same scenario.

Its saving now. That is one heck of an annoying bug...
The weird thing is that after I enabled the generic web application support, I had to re-create my web module for it to save. It wouldn't save on my previous module after I had enabled that.

Awesome. I like to know the reasons for when something just suddenly starts working. At least now we know. I will search and see if you ahve filed a bug report and I will file one if you haven't already. Now if we can just get the Quick Javadoc bugs fixed I am home free :)

Hi Grant, Glad we got this one figured out as well. I found an existing bug report and have added the information to this bug and e-mailed Alexey. I think there are probably quite a few people that would experience the same problem.
Awesome! Good debugging Chris. This was driving me up a wall!
--Grant
Heh... yeah I guess this thing is not that obvious. I've been using web apps for so long, for me it's automatic I set it up. However this is a pretty nifty bug since you should NEVER be able to add ANY Web Modules if the J2EE Generic App Servlet settings is not setup. I think they should plain hide the web module, of they DO show the web module wizard to create, the first thing it needs to do is ask you where the J2EE jar file is, and not let you continue until that's in place.
I bet A LOT of other people not reading this forum are having the same problem.

the J2EE Build settings (war or exploded)
One way to get past this is to just edit the .iml file, it's pretty self explanatory. Definitely a bug though
What is the setting in the IML to save the web.xml path and the web content
root since I can never save those settings I am not sure what to add ;)

I am saving my modules and project files in the same directory as my content
for my web root.
For example:
Content root: d:\dp
Resource dir: d:\dp
web.xml location: d:\dp\web-inf\web.xml
src files and output: d:\dp\web-inf\classes
all iml and and ipr files are stored in d:\dp
I just tried the latest 1113 build and the settings still are not saving.

That is exactly how I have it. I don't have any Generic Web server
configured at all but just Weblogic. I will have to try what you said.

Many thanks to Grant and Chris for going into such great pain debugging the beast.
The bug has been fixed in 1117.
