Description navneet 2003-03-20 17:11:30 UTC 
In most cases, when working with web modules, the
classes directory is where the class files need to
go. This is irrespective of where the source files
are. We, as a policy, do not create java files in
the classes directory since it is easier to clean
up this way.

It is nice that the web module identifies the
WEB-INF directory and automatically ounts the lib,
etc. It will be even better if the mounted classes
directory is marked as the target directory in the
compilers available.
Comment 1 Jason Rush 2003-03-21 08:19:09 UTC 
In my opinion, this is an enhancement request, not a 
defect.
Comment 2 Milan Kuchtiak 2003-03-21 08:57:18 UTC 
There are tasks already assigned that should solve this problem
comprehensively.
Comment 3 Pavel Buzek 2003-04-28 08:48:36 UTC 
implemented in projects branch, it is still affected by 33231 but
otherwise it works
Comment 4 Pavel Buzek 2003-04-28 08:49:42 UTC 
removing dependency on project tasks, this part is already implemented
Comment 5 Pavel Buzek 2003-06-09 12:59:12 UTC 
I changed implementation of web module build target do that it copies
the compiled classes from wherever they are stored. The rest is on
compiled classes target -- it should allow you to set target location
for classes.
Comment 6 Jason Rush 2003-08-18 16:36:55 UTC 
Verified behavior in NB projects build 20030818-1339.
Comment 7 navneet 2004-03-16 10:47:34 UTC 
no longer useful since the old project is now scrapped.
