Eclipse: Missing web.xml file? How can I create web.xml in Eclipse?

Have you created Dynamic Web Project and created servlet and still are you missing web.xml file under \WebContent\WEB-INF\..?

Eclipse allows you to NOT create a web.xml file when you create Dynamic Web Project for Java EE 6, since the Java EE 6 spec (in general) and Servlet 3.0 spec (in particular) attempt to de-emphasize deployment descriptors.

You can use annotation to provide all the data that had been included in the web.xml file. You should read through the Servlet 3.0 spec from the jcp.org site to get a bit more explanatory text.

To change the url-mapping for a Servlet 3.0 servlet, the first place to look is in the source code for the servlet. Look for (and change) the value of the urlPatterns element.

If you are trying to create a web app based on Servlet 3.0, try to avoid creating a web.xml file.

But still if you need web.xml then you can do it by Dynamic Web Project –> RightClick –> Java EE Tools –> Generate Deployment Descriptor Stub.

You should see web.xml file immediately after that.

Now it’s time to deploy project to Tomcat Web Server. Right click on Server and click Add and Remove.

Then add your recently converted Dynamic Web project to Configured section at right and you should be all set.

Can't start Eclipse - Java was started but returned exit code=13 !!! SOLVED

I got this error, and found that my PATH variable (on Windows) was probably changed. First in my PATH was this entry:

C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath

..and eclipse ran "C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath\javaw" - which gave the error. I suspect that this is something that came along with an installation of Java 8.

I have several java versions installed (6,7 and 8), so I removed that entry from the PATH and tried to restart Eclipse again, which worked fine.

8. Close Regedit and Restart the computer. When restarted, EXE files should not prompt you to choose a program to run it now and load correctly.

Problem: failed to create task or type nbdeploy?? SOLVED!!  After a long time , I was testing my project in Java EE but  unfortunately i encountered the following the error:  Problem: failed to create task or type nbdeploy  Cause: The name is undefined.  Action: Check the spelling.  Action: Check that any custom tasks/types have been declared.  Action: Check that any / declarations have taken place.  BUILD FAILED (total time: 2 seconds)   Then after several futile attempts , I finally get a solution to my problem and it really helped me a lot.

Make Your Own Header File ?

Step1 : Type this Code 

1 2 3 4

int add(int a,int b) { return(a+b); }

• In this Code write only function definition as you write in General C Program

Step 2 : Save Code

• Save Above Code with [.h ] Extension .
• Let name of our header file be myhead [ myhead.h ]
• Compile Code if required.

Step 3 : Write Main Program

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

#include #include"myhead.h" void main() {    int num1 = 10, num2 = 10, num3;    num3 = add(num1, num2);    printf("Addition of Two numbers : %d", num3); }

1. Include Our New Header File .
2. Instead of writing < myhead.h> use this terminology “myhead.h”
3. All the Functions defined in the myhead.h header file are now ready for use .
4. Directly  call function add(); [ Provide proper parameter and take care of return type ]

Note

1. While running your program precaution to be taken : Both files [ myhead.h and sample.c ] should be in same folder.
