Question

In Eclipse, the folder structure when I create a Dynamic Web Project is

.:
build src WebContent

./build:
classes

./build/classes:

./src:

./WebContent:
index.html META-INF scripts WEB-INF

./WebContent/META-INF:
MANIFEST.MF

./WebContent/scripts:
jquery-1.7.1.js

./WebContent/WEB-INF:
lib web.xml

./WebContent/WEB-INF/lib:

As you can see, there is WebContent directory containg web-inf and other files, if I moved all the directories and files of WebContent directory a level above, it does not work,
what to do to run the index.html in eclipse

-> the directory structure after moving all the directories and files of WebContent directory a level above:

.:
build index.html META-INF scripts src WEB-INF

./build:
classes

./build/classes:

./META-INF:
MANIFEST.MF

./scripts:
jquery-1.7.1.js

./src:

./WEB-INF:
lib web.xml

./WEB-INF/lib:

So, now I need just go to “http://localhost:8080/Sample” and should go to index.html properly
what path changes need to be done to make it run?

Right click the project in Eclipse and take ‘Properties’
From the Dialog box, select ‘Deployment Assembly’. You can change your content path from there.
