Enable Web application support

Last modified: 11 October 2024

When you enable Web Application support in IntelliJ IDEA, it can do the following:

  • Create a web resource directory web with index.jsp intended as a starting page of your app and, optionally, a web app deployment descriptor WEB-INF/web.xml.

  • Create a Web facet that lets you manage your deployment descriptors, web resource directories, and your Java web source roots.

  • Create an Exploded WAR artifact configuration.

  • Provide access to the Web tool window.

If you enable Web Application support when creating a project or module and specify an application server, IntelliJ IDEA also creates a run/debug configuration for that server.
