Your problem is not with needing to set the output path
to the WEB-INF/classes instead of <project-dir>/classes.

If you are finding that your class files are not being
copied to the Web Module, right-click on the Web Module's
node in the Project Pane and select "Properties...".

On the "Build" page in that dialog, what is the setting
for "Build Web Directory:"?  Quite often, one doesn't
want to rebuild the Web Directory on every project rebuild.
In such a case, it might be more convenient to set this
option to "When building module only", and in order to
get the class files to be copied, you would have to
right-click on the Web Module node in the Project Pane
and choose "Rebuild".

Or, in some cases, you might never want to rebuild a
Web Directory, most notably if its one which just contains
the static portion of your Web site -- i.e., it just
serves up .html, and image files.

What's your setting?

Paul,

Thanks for the response. 

The thing I am confused about is that I did not create a web project. I do not have a Web Module node in the Project Pane.

I don't want to doubt you about not having a Web Module node
in your Project, but a quick test on my end shows that the
message you got occurs *only* if you try to assign the
output path to the <project dir>/<webapp dir>/WEB-INF/classes
folder.  If I take a project which does not have a Web Module
as a node in the Project Pane, and use the file system
browser to create a folder

   <project dir>/webapp/WEB-INF/classes

and assign the output to the newly made folder,
the Project Properties dialog does not complain.

Nor does it complain if I assign the output path
to something like

   some/path/other/than/project/webapp/WEB-INF/classes

Thus, I have to conclude that you indeed *do* have a
Web Module as part of your project, and that JBuilder
is designed to not accept the WEB-INF/classes as a
valid output dir.  The latter makes some sense: JBuilder
manages that WEB-INF/classes directory in a manner different
from the conventional <project dir>/classes dir.

The best thing to do is to get a grip on your
project's contents, and then just use the standard or
conventional output path, and the use the "Make"
or "Rebuild" command for the Web Module to force
the copying of classes and resources into the
WEB-INF/classes and lib dirs.

As for using Weblogic, I doubt that has any bearing
on the matter.
