Question

Sorry for the potentially stupid question, I’m newbie in Java.
I have a simple IntelliJ Java project with Flex support. The project contains index.jsp page. And after building of the project, the .swf is placed in the WEB-INF/classes folder.

The directory stucture of the generated artifact is:

index.jsp
Web-inf
  web.xml
  classes
    main.swf

Could you help me please, how to embed main.swf into the index.jsp? If simply – how could I access the file located in the WEB-INF/classes folder?

To supplement Constantiner’s comment, regardless of the IDE, you can set up your project to use this convention:

/web
    /flex - Where your Main.swf goes and anything it it needs (i.e. css, jpgs, mp3s, misc assets
    /META-INF - Where your context.xml goes, not accessible to clients
    /WEB-INF
        /classes - The directory where all your pre-compiled java .class files goes
        /flex - Where blazeDS xml config files go
        /lib - Where your java shared libraries go (i.e. jar's
        web.xml - Where you set up your container's listeners and servlet mappings
    index.jsp - Your .jsp will have access to /flex stuff... You could of course promote the contents of /flex to be directly under /web
    index.html - Hello World
