New Webapp for the JSF Hello-world

Let's define a new web context (web application) called "hellojsf" in Tomcat for our JSF Hello-world

application. First of all, we need to create the standard directory structure for the web context (as shown

in the figure below). Create a directory called "hellojsf", under the $CATALINA_HOME\webapps

directory (where $CATALINA_HOME is the Tomcat's installed directory). Create a sub-directory "WEB-

INF" under "hellojsf". Create sub-sub-directories: "classes", "lib" and "src" under "WEB-INF".

Keep the files in the appropriate directories:

"$CATALINA_HOME\webapps\hellojsf": This directory is known as context root, and keeps

the "jsp", "html" and resources available to web users.

"$CATALINA_HOME\webapps\hellojsf\WEB-INF": Keeps the webapp configuration files,

such as "web.xml", "faces-config.xml".

"$CATALINA_HOME\webapps\hellojsf\WEB-INF\src": Keeps the java program source files

(optional).
