I have the below task in my ant and it is copying all the files like jdbc.properties, applicationContext.xml outside WEB-INF folder. But what I need is the files to be placed under WEB-INF folder. How do I achieve this?

<war destfile="my.war" webxml="web/WEB-INF/web.xml">
   <classes dir="build/web/WEB-INF/classes"/>
   <fileset dir="web/WEB-INF"/>
   <lib dir="web/WEB-INF/lib"/>
   <zipfileset dir="web/images" prefix="images"/>
</war>

    Instead of <fileset>, use <sipfileset> it’s just like <fileset> except you can declare a prefix parameter:

    <war destfile="my.war" webxml="web/WEB-INF/web.xml">
    <classes dir="build/web/WEB-INF/classes"/>
    <zipfileset dir="web/WEB-INF"
        prefix=WEB-INF"/>
    <lib dir="web/WEB-INF/lib"/>
    <zipfileset dir="web/images" prefix="images"/>
</war>

    Or, since those files are already under a WEB-INF directory, you can specify a <fileset> to the web directory, and then specify only the WEB-INF directory underneath that:

    <war destfile="my.war" webxml="web/WEB-INF/web.xml">
    <classes dir="build/web/WEB-INF/classes"/>
    <fileset dir="web">
        <include name="WEB-INF/**"/>
    </fileset>
    <lib dir="web/WEB-INF/lib"/>
    <zipfileset dir="web/images" prefix="images"/>
</war>
