That is only part of the answer, of course. After you've compiled the classes to web/WEB-INF/classes/ (that is relative to a build/ or dist/ directory, correct?), you still have to copy the JSPs and HTMLs to web/, the JARs to web/WEB-INF/lib, then drop to web/ and jar the whole thing into a WAR file for deployment to your app server.

I usually use web/ as the source directory for web artifacts, src/ as the top of the source tree, build/ as the target of the build (so that classes go into build/WEB-INF/classes/, for example), and dist/ as the target directory to build the WAR file.

project/
|-- src/ <== Java source tree here
|-- web/ <== JSPs, HTMLs, etc.
| |-- WEB-INF/
| | |-- lib/ <== JARs
| | |-- jspf/ <== JSP fragments
| |
| |-- images/ <== other resources
| |-- style/ :
|
|-- build/ <== JSPs, HTMLs, etc., copied to here
| |-- WEB-INF/
| | |-- lib/ <== JARs copied to here
| | |-- jspf/ <== JSP fragments copied to here
| | |-- classes/ <== .class files built here
| |
| |-- images/ <== other resources copied to here
| |-- style/ :
|
|-- dist/ <== WAR file built here

This is in line with what Sun and Apache Tomcat recommend, and how most IDEs will organize your stuff.
