Web.xml not displayed in Netbeans 6.9.1 instead sun-web.xml is being displayed

Web.xml not displayed in Netbeans 6.9.1 instead sun-web.xml is being displayed, Is Sun-Web.xml the same as web.xml or else I need to add web.xml to do the servlet mapping???

[Peter Johnson]

Which version of Java EE, or actually, which version of the Servlet spec? Java EE 6, which uses Servlet 3.0, no longer requires a web.xml.

I suspect that the sun-web.xml is specific for Glassfish.

It's just because while creating a new web project you are choosing GlassFish as Server. If you want to have web.xml then choose Tomcat as your server while creating the project.
