which files under src/main/resources and files under WEB-INF?

I'm using Maven nowadays and i have to "mavenize" a dynamic web project (J2EE/Eclipse) , i got the application.war succefuly built but when i deploy it in Tomcat, i got so much errors and i begin to resolve it and i know exactly what's the problem : i didn't place the right files Under the right folder !

So my question is : which files i have to place Under src/main/resources and wich files i'll keep it Under WEB-INF ?

i'll post a picture with all my files Under WEB-INF and hope that will help to answer :

You should keep frontEnd files like html,jsp,js,css files under web-inf which are to be used by application through links. all the static content like properties file and other utility items can be kept in src/main/resources.

The files that should end up in the classpath (i.e. under WEB-INF/classes in the generated war file) should be in src/main/resources.

The files that should end up under the root of the war file should be in src/main/webapp. So, if you want a file to end up in WEB-INF/foo/bar in the generated war file, the file should be under src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/foo/bar. If you want a file to end up in images in the generated war file, the file should be under src/main/webapp/images
