Sorry
for the confusion but with webapp I actually ment your webapplication. The
WEB-INF directory goes in the root folder of your webapplication.
Example:
Suppose you have a webapplication called foo and you have added a context
for it to server.xml similar to this
<Context path="/foo"
docBase="/base directory of your application/"
crossContext="false"
debug="0"
reloadable="false" >
</Context>
docBase="/base directory of your application/"
crossContext="false"
debug="0"
reloadable="false" >
</Context>
THe
WEB-INF directory would be located at
/base
directory of your application/WEB-INF
and in
this directory you drop your web.xml file.
Hope
that helps
