Maven Grails web.xml

Might be a stupid question, but in my current maven project i do not have a web.xml in my /web-app/WEB-INF folder.

There is no web-xml in my project and never has been, im trying to add it but my application is non-responsive to anything written in the web.xml. What am i missing?, iv tried specifying the path to it through the config.groovy like: 

grails.project.web.xml="web-app/WEB-INF/web.xml"

Am i missing something? Do i need to specify the web.xml in some other config file in order to make my project utilize it ?

You may be able to get away with something similar to this https://stackoverflow.com/a/5891646/107847. It doesn't install separate web.xml but does allow you add what ever content you need or edit any of the generated content.

Run

grails install-templates

to copy templates that Grails uses for all code generation activities (including "web.xml").

"web.xml" file will be created in "src/templates/war" directory.
