Web Pages folder overlaps Project folder

Creating a new web application project using Netbeans can be difficult sometimes, when the knowledge of the folder structure is not on one's finger tips.

A common error that may arise at the final stage is of the project creation is --> Web Pages folder overlaps Project folder.

To solve this issue, use the following simple steps.

1. Inside the project folder, create a folder called web.
2. Move the sources and the WEB-INF file into the web directory.

You are good to go! When you create the project now from the existing sources, the process will be seamless!
