I see the message “Missing web.xml deployment descriptor in WEB-INF folder” on the Problems tab of MyEclipse 6.5.1 even though a web.xml file is in the WEB-INF folder of my project. I am access servlets described in this web.xml file so I assume MyEclipse is finding it. Why am I getting this message?
Thank you.
Have you changed the original project stucture of the MyEclipse project? Can you please take a look at the servlet example which is on the list of Example On Demand projects and make sure yout project directory structure confers to that directory structure.
Incase the problem persists, can you list the exact steps to help us reproduce this issue at our end.
The directory structure is correct. The web.xml is being read because the servlets are being accessed through the url-pattern in the web.xml. It’s just that I continue to get that warning message which is very confusing to me.
Can you switch to a new workspace, create a new project and check if you are able to replicate this issue.
Incase you can replicate this issue, please list the steps to help me reproduce this issue at my end.
I can try, but it’s a big deal for me to create a project. I do it once and then go from there, and I do it so seldom that I don’t remember the steps. I’ll have to find the tutorial and give it a shot. Mostly I work on existing projects so I”m not creating a project from scratch.
This is still an issue although I dropped it as the pages are delivered as though MyEclipse finds them. Which files exactly should I look at to see if the directory structure is correct? It certainly is in the file system, and the pages are being delivered. I just still have this error message. Without creating another project, is there a way to see if something is amiss somewhere? I did change the type of project although it’s been so long, I do not remember from what type of project to what type, etc. I certainly could not tell you the steps I took at this time.

You can look at section 3 of this document. It explains the directory structure of a MyEclipse Web Project:-
