I am getting the following error:

Error assembling WAR: webxml attribute is required (or pre-existing WEB-INF/web.xml if executing in update mode)

I have got web.xml in right place which is projectnamesrcmainwebappWEB-INFweb.xml

What could be causing this?

It would be helpful if you can provide a code snippet of your maven-war-plugin.
Looks like the web.xml is at right place, still you can try and give the location explicitly

<plugin>            
  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
  <configuration>
    <webXml>srcmainwebappWEB-INFweb.xml</webXml>        
  </configuration>
</plugin>

<plugin>
    <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.4</version>
    <configuration>
        <failOnMissingWebXml>false</failOnMissingWebXml>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

This solution works for me (I was using 2.2 before). Also, I am using Java Based Configuration for Servlet 3.0 and no need to have web.xml file.

This is because you have not included web.xml in your web project and trying to build war using maven. To resolve this error, you need to set the failOnMissingWebXml to false in pom.xml file.

For example:

<properties>
    <failOnMissingWebXml>false</failOnMissingWebXml>   
</properties>

If you are migrating from XML-based to Java-based configuration and you have removed the need for web.xml by implementing WebApplicationInitializer, simply remove the requirement for the web.xml file to be present.

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.6</version>
    <configuration>
        <failOnMissingWebXml>false</failOnMissingWebXml>
        ... 
    </configuration>

The value of my webXml tag needed to look like this in order to work:

<webXml>${project.basedir}srcmainwebappWEB-INFweb.xml</webXml>

I had the exact same problem and i solved it like this :

Make a new folder named WEB-INF under src/main/webbapp then

Right Click on your Project -> Java EE Tools -> Generate Deployment Descriptor Stub

This should generate your web.xml

I hope this helps by solving your problem :D

It does look like you have web.xml in the right location, but even so, this error is often caused by the directory structure not matching what Maven expects to see. For example, if you start out with an Eclipse webapp that you are trying to build with Maven.

If that is the issue, a quick fix is to create a
src/main/java and a
src/main/webapp directory (and other directories if you need them) and just move your files.

Here is an overview of the maven directory layout:

🔴 failOnMissingWebXml since 2020

All other answers about might be obsolete because the default value used by the maven-war-plugin changed:

Starting with 3.0.1, this property defaults to false if the project depends on the Servlet 3.0 API or newer.

So the ONLY thing you have to do is to add

<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
    <artifactId>javax.servlet-api</artifactId>
    <version>3.0.1</version>
</dependency>

Example:

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
        xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 
        http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">

    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
    <groupId>foo</groupId>
    <artifactId>bar</artifactId>
    <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
            <artifactId>javax.servlet-api</artifactId>
            <version>3.0.1</version>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>

As per the documentation, it says : Whether or not to fail the build if the web.xml file is missing. Set to false if you want you WAR built without a web.xml file. This may be useful if you are building an overlay that has no web.xml file.
Default value is: true.
User property is: failOnMissingWebXml.

<plugin>
    <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.1.1</version>
    <extensions>false</extensions>
    <configuration>
        <failOnMissingWebXml>false</failOnMissingWebXml>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

Hope it makes more clear

This is an old question, and there are many answers, most of which will be more or less helpful; however, there is one, very important and still relevant point, which none of the answers touch (providing, instead, different hacks to make build possible), and which, I think, in no way has a less importance.. on the contrary.

According to your log message, you are using Maven, which is a Project Management tool, firmly following the conventions, over configuration principle.

When Maven builds the project:

  1. it expects your project to have a particular directory structure, so that it knows where to expect what. This is called a Maven's Standard Directory Layout;
  2. during the build, it creates also proper directory structure and places files into corresponding locations/directories, and this, in compliance with the Sun Microsystems Directory Structure Standard for Java EE [web] applications.

You may incorporate many things, including maven plugins, changing/reconfiguring project root directory, etc., but better and easier is to follow the default conventions over configuration, according to which, (now is the answer to your problem) there is one simple step that can make your project work: Just place your web.xml under srcmainwebappWEB-INF and try to build the project with mvn package.

If you change the default project path, you must specify the location of the web.xml file, for example:

        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>

            <configuration>
                <webXml>srcmainwebWEB-INFweb.xml</webXml>

Make sure pom.xml is placed properly in Project folder. and not inside target folder or any where else.

Looks like pom.xml is not relatively aligned.

Was your folder structure altered so the file is no-longer at /src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml ?

To resolve this issue, I gave my web folder the name webapp and placed it inside the src/main. Maven seems to look for web.xml by default at /src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml. If you do this then you don’t need to explicitly tell maven where web.xml is. And if you’ve altered your folder structure and your build recently stopped working, this could be why.

Note: This is an old post but the posted solutions don’t point out why a working build would suddenly stop working.

This error occurs because you tell to Maven to pakage files to war.

<packaging>war</packaging>

Do you really need war? If not, put jar there.
Here is full code:

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">

I encountered this message while trying to package a Spring Boot project as a WAR file and deploying that WAR file in a standalone Tomcat instance.

I used Spring Intializr to generate the initial pom.xml and related artifacts.
The problem was that in that pom.xml (Spring version 2.6.+), this dependency was in place.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-webflux</artifactId>
</dependency>

I had to replace it with this one:

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

And also added this dependency with scope of «provided»

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-tomcat</artifactId>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

Also, of course, changed the packaging

<packaging>war</packaging>

Make sure to run mvn install before you compile your war.

There are two things to note regarding packaging.

  1. Packaging to a war file will require you define the web.xml file in the appropriate folder as described by Catalin Ciolocoiu.
  2. But changing the package type to jar would not need that structure and should work straight away.

1. The purpose of this post

When build springboot app as war file, sometime we encounter this exception:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-war-plugin:2.2:war (default-war) on project sbjt1: Error assembling WAR: webxml attribute is required (or pre-existing WEB-INF/web.xml if executing in update mode) -> [Help 1]

2. Environments

  • springboot 1.x and 2.x

3. The solution

3.1 The original pom

Before solve , we can look at the original pom.xml

<build>
    <finalName>${artifactId}</finalName>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>repackage</goal>
                    </goals>
                    <configuration>
                        <classifier>exec</classifier>
                    </configuration>
                </execution>
            </executions>
        </plugin>
    </build>

3.2 The right pom

We should add maven-war-plugin to build springboot as war file:

<build>
    <finalName>${artifactId}</finalName>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>repackage</goal>
                    </goals>
                    <configuration>
                        <classifier>exec</classifier>
                    </configuration>
                </execution>
            </executions>
        </plugin>

        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>3.0.0</version>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

And pay attention to the version of the maven-war-plugin, it must be 3.0.0+, or else you must add as follows:

<plugin>
  <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>2.6</version>
  <configuration>
    <failOnMissingWebXml>false</failOnMissingWebXml>
  </configuration>
</plugin>

Hope it helps for you.

Solution:

In Java web application when configuration based on java files at that need to disable to find web.xml in maven.

when maven try to build .war file at that time always try to find web.xml but in servlet 3.0 configuration we do not require web.xml file so need to disable it using following configuration:

Add following configuration in maven plugin :

<configuration>
    <failOnMissingWebXml>false</failOnMissingWebXml>
</configuration>

like:

<plugins>
           <plugin>
               <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
               <version>2.4</version>
               <configuration>
                   <failOnMissingWebXml>false</failOnMissingWebXml>
               </configuration>
           </plugin>
           <plugin>
               <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
               <configuration>
                   <source>1.8</source>
                   <target>1.8</target>
               </configuration>
           </plugin>

Some time you will be struggling with building the war using maven and will get the error:


Error assembling WAR: webxml attribute is required (or pre-existing WEB-INF/web.xml if executing in update mode) -> [Help 1]


This is because you don’t have web.xml in your project and trying to create .war file using maven then you will get this error for sure.





  



                       
  






To resolve the issue you need to set the failOnMissingWebXml to false in pom.xml file.

For example:


<properties>
    <failOnMissingWebXml>false</failOnMissingWebXml>   
</properties>


Create .war file. This time you will get success for sure.

Error assembling WAR: webxml attribute is required (or pre-existing WEB-INF/web.xml maven on war


You might come across this error when building a web application on maven using the command


mvn war:war


This would be caused if maven is not aware of where the web.xml file is located.

If you follow the standard maven directory structure as


src/main/java
src/main/resources
src/main/webapp


You would have to copy the contents of WebContent [WEB-INF AND META-INF] to src/main/webapp folder – there maven would get it as expected.

    This is the most straightforward explanation I have come across for this error. Thanks for posting.
