Description Nykyta Kudria CLA 2023-09-13 17:40:25 EDT 
Overview:
Hello everyone,
I can’t avoid web.xml creation under src/main/webapp folder in a new Dynamic Web Project 6.0 after adding a servlet. I would like to use annotations instead of web.xml. In Dynamic Web Project 3.0 no matter if I select “Generate web.xml deployment descriptor” or not it will route servlets using the @WebServlet("/my-route") annotation and not using web.xml. Is it possible to have the same behavior in Dynamic Web Project 6.0.

Steps to reproduce:
    1. File -> New -> Dynamic Web Project
    2. Select for Target Runtime “wildfly 27+” and dynamic web module version 6.0
    3. Click next twice and leave “Generate web.xml deployment descriptor” unchecked.
    4.	Next in “Project Explorer” expand “Java Resources” and then right click on “src/main/java” and create a new servlet with a given url mapping.
    5.	 See that the routing is done using a web.xml file located in src/main/webapp even though we left “Generate web.xml deployment descriptor” unchecked.

Actual Results:
Routing still done via web.xml

Expected Results:
No web.xml and routing done only via annotations.
