MyLayout.war error: WEB-INF/web.xml not found.

[javatwo]

When I deployed myLayout.war to change layout and theme of portal, I got the error message on server side: /WEB/INF/web.xml not found. The war file does not have web.xml, but jboss-web.xml. Is this a packaging issue?

Thanks.

You still need a valid war, and without a /web-inf/web.xml it's not a valid war.
So add it and it should work (assuming everything else is there)

I downloaded the myLayout.war from
http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=JBossPortalSamples


/WEB-INF/web.xml is missing from the war file. Where can I get it?

Thanks.

Trying to load myLayout. I am using myLayout.war from examples download. I have added a web.xml file. I have also updated the portal-core WEB-INF files. I have set JBOSS_HOME to F:/jboss-portal-2.0-jboss-4.0.2.
I have stopped and started JBoss numerous times. Getting warning below. When I execute /myLayout. I get a directory instead of page. Whatelse should I be doing?

Found a solution, which may not be correct. Placed WEB-INF at same level as myLayout.war in war file. Now I can display twoColumns.jsp, with exceptions "No pages to render!"

myLayout.war
|- simple-sample.css
|-/images
|-/layouts
|- twoColumns.jsp
WEB-INF
|- jboss-web.xml
|- portal-layouts.xml
|- portal-themes.xml
|- web.xml

I'm also facing the same problem, web.xml is not found in the sample myLayout.war file downloaded from Jboss site. Placed the web.xml as mentioned in this thread, but still getting the directory listed when I browser /myLayout.
