Build Error - Error assembling WAR: Deployment descriptor:

[Andrew Madu <an...@gmail.com>]

Hi,
so my pom.xml reads as follows:

[code]
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
      <groupId>com.mysite.app</groupId>
      <artifactId>mysite-spring-app</artifactId>
      <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
      <packaging>war</packaging>
      .....
[/code]

I simply changed the packaging type to 'war' just to see what output 
would be generated, and am receiving this error:

[code]
Error assembling WAR: Deployment descriptor: C:Documents and 
Settings\mysite\mysite-spring-app\target\mysite-spring-app-1.0-SNAPSHOT\WEB-INF\web.xml 
does not exist
[/code]

What is the issue here?

My platform is as follows:
WIN XP SP1
JDK 1.6.0_06
Maven 2.0.9

Many thanks in advance.

Regards

Andrew

It appears that you do not have web.xml file in your
src/main/webapp/WEB-INF folder. Add one, and try again.
