Where did you find build.xml and ofbiz-componet.xml in the WEB-INF
folder? They suppose to in the root of your component. build.xml is a
ant build file and ofbiz-compoent.xml is OFbiz component meta data file.

Thanks,

I m Sorry !!
There was a typing mistake.
Actually I was asking Why controller.xml and web.xml are put in WEB-INF folder?

[BJ Freeman]

web.xml is part of tomcat structure
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-4.1-doc/appdev/deployment.html
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/appdev/web.xml.txt

unlike the declaration in the web.xml of standard tomcat for the control
servlet, ofbiz has there own and it looks for the controller in WEB-INF
This is where I put it since it is part of each webapp and is WEB-INF
used individually for each webapp.

     <servlet>
         <servlet-name>ControlServlet</servlet-name>
         <display-name>ControlServlet</display-name>
         <description>Main Control Servlet</description>
 
<servlet-class>org.ofbiz.webapp.control.ControlServlet</servlet-class>
         <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
     </servlet>
     <servlet-mapping>
         <servlet-name>ControlServlet</servlet-name>
         <url-pattern>/control/*</url-pattern>
     </servlet-mapping>

controller.xml is the file which has request mapping and view mappings.
web.xml is descriptor for a web application and this suppose to be in
WEB-INF folder. To know why it is there you will need to go through the
servlet specifications.
