Questions tagged [web-inf]

WEB-INF is the name of a folder found in Java web applications. It is used to store deployment information such as the web.xml, required library files and compiled class files. It is normally not accessible from web. Any files which you want to put on war but do not want to make to public then web-inf is the place where you can keep those files.
