# Populate Web modules

After you [enable Web development support](enabling-web-application-support.html) in a module, IntelliJ IDEA sets up the basic module structure as follows:

* Creates a `web` folder with the `index.jsp` stub file. By default, the `web` folder will be the root of your application after deployment and the `index.jsp` file will be its home page.

* Creates a `WEB-INF` subfolder that contains the `web.xml` descriptor with an `Action` servlet configured.

* Creates an `src` folder if you specified so when creating your project.

Procedure: Populate the Web module

* Below the `src` folder, create the Java class files that implement the functionality of your application.

* [Configure the static Web content resources](web-application-static-content.html) that represent the user interface.

* [Configure the application elements](creating-and-configuring-web-application-elements.html).

* [Specify the assembly descriptor references](specifying-assembly-descriptor-references.html).
