All,
Please drop this one from your radar. As I am learning I am finding out
just how much I don't know and how my assumptions from my previous
Windows / IIS / ASP platform experience just doesn't apply to this one.
I have been 'enlightened' and now have a grasp of how basic this
question was and understand where and how I was confused.

OK. So you recommend using the default settings and I can certainly
understand that. But doesn't that put me back in the position of
having to specify the TARGET folder in the site URL? Which is a
similar situation to my original question. Or am I trying to solve a
Tomcat / IIS issue where the server resolves to the "Web" or "Build"
or "Target" folder as the application root (http://www.web.svr/myapp/)
as opposed to having to specify the target folder
(http://www.web.svr/myapp/target/).
Some background... we currently use IIS exclusively. The sites are in
legacy ASP. We are converting to Java and JSP. We have set up our dev
server to use the same URL's for eventual ease of conversion in the
user community. The Dev server has been configured to use the ISAPI
redirect to send traffic for that site to Tomcat.
Originally, we used Java Web / Web Application specification to create
the App and configured a virtual directory in IIS pointing to the
"MYAPP/Web" folder in order for the site to resolve properly since
that was where Netbeans placed it using the default configuration.
Using this, when we tried accessing the home page (Index.html) of the
site it did not resolve. To get the page to display with this option
we had to include the 'Web' folder in the URL for Tomcat to find the
Index.html page. (We also tried remapping from "Web" to the "Build"
folder and got the same results)
At what point is the working page supposed to roll up to the actual
root of the web site application so no sub folder needs to be
specified in the URL? Isn't the build / deploy supposed to place the
site pages that run in the site root folder where the pages can be
found without that sub folder specification? I guess again... maybe
this is a Tomcat / IIS cooperation thing and not Netbeans, but I
figure folks here know a whole lot more than I do and may be able to
point me in the right direction.

I'd recommend to use the default settings provided by Maven, i.e.,
keep using the target folder.
Also, keep the mailing list in your response mails otherwise I'll be
the only one seeing them.

OK. First, thanks for the guidance. I am groping around reading a
whole lot of material here. I see the option to create a Maven /
Web Application and stepped through to create my new "myapp2". I
am also reading the link you passed along and see the reference
to "target" as the final location for what is built. I found how
to tell the Maven build to use the 'application root as the
target. Again, thanks.
Should the build also move all the JSP, HTML, etc files to that
root folder (or sub folder structure) when executing the build?
When I run a build/test of the default app I am not seeing the
base INDEX.HTML file moved to the root folder.
Thanks again!

Recommend you start with Maven | Web Application, i.e., that you
have a Maven based application instead of Ant based as you have
now. In the upcoming release, it will be clearer that that is
the preferred starting point.
When you build, you'll then have a 'target' folder as in any
Maven project:

I know this is basic stuff but here goes...
Defined Application on web server as "myapp" (names
changed to protect
the innocent). Netbeans creates a folder "Web" and
places all source in
this folder. Pages are coded and I run a test. Netbeans
then builds a
folder "Build" and places the built source there. I was
expecting it to
place the code to run in the root of "myapp" so the
server can resolve
it without further specifying the "Build" folder in my URL.
What have I missed in the application configuration to
have the built /
verified application in the root folder? Or am I
supposed to move it
manually? Or is there come other logistic to the
configuration I have
missed?
Thanks for any guidance.
