About: Guide 5.0.1, Chapter 9 outlines how to develop a simple JSP web application.

Issue: I followed the steps in this chapter without issue up to section 9.2.2. This next section describes the web.xml file. It states that  "When you are creating web project the wizard creates the web.xml file for you automatically." But the web.xml file had not been automatically created in my jsphello project.

Workaround: Back in 9.1, Setting Up the Project, an extra step needs to be added to the instructions. The current final bullet point of these instructions should be split into multiple bullets as follow:
Then select Minimal Configuration from the list of possible configurations and click Next twice to move through the Java window to the Web Module Window.
Select the Generate web.xml deployment descriptor and Click Finish.
This additional step creates a web.xml file within the WebContent/WEB_INF directory. It appears that the contents of this web.xml file fits that of the one shown in Figure 9.6.
