Maven Error assembling WAR: webxml attribute is required when building the SpringMVC project with pure Java Based Configuration and no xml's
I am developing a Spring MVC project with pure Java based configuration. I am getting the error below when I do a Maven clean install. Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-war-plugin:2.2:war (default-war) on project SpringMVC-ShoppingCart: Error assembling WAR: webxml attribute is required (or pre-existing WEB-INF/web.xml if executing in update mode) -> [Help 1] The error says that web.xml is missing, but I did not have one since I used pure Java based configuration. How to make sure that the project builds and creates war file without web.xml ? Tunaki This error happens
