Web Applications Directory Structure

Web Applications are organized in a specified directory structure so that they can be
archived and deployed on WebLogic Server. All servlets, classes, static files, and other
resources belonging to a Web Application are organized under a directory hierarchy.
The root of this hierarchy defines the document root of your Web Application. All files
under this root directory can be served to the client, except for files under the special
directories
should be named with the name of your Web Application.
The following diagram illustrates the directory structure of any Web Application.
