Spring Boot + WEB-INF

Question

I have a very simple spring boot project with dependency

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
    <exclusions>
        <exclusion>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-tomcat</artifactId>
        </exclusion>
    </exclusions>
</dependency>

When I build this , web-inf folder gets created in target directory, and packages everything in classes, and lib folder.

I want to have one xml file ("jboss-deployment-structure.xml") at the root of the web-inf, ("web-inf/jboss-deployment-structure.xml") where should I put it in the src folder?

I tried creating "public/jboss-deployment-structure.xml" folder in src, but no luck.

Maybe a little bit late, but in order to put your xml file inside WEB-INF, if you are using Maven, the correct placement will be:

src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/jboss-deployment-structure.xml
