If you have HATS V7.5.0.x installed and have upgraded to RAD V7.5.5 fix pack level, when you create a new project you will get a WebContent folder when you create a HATS Web project. This is in addition to the Web Content folder that the HATS Toolkit creates and uses. This problem occurs when you are using RAD V7.5.5 or later. This extra WebContent folder may cause problems, especially when using Integration Objects.

To eliminate this extra WebContent folder in a HATS Web project:

1. Right click on your HATS project and choose Properties
2. Select Java Build Path from the tree
3. Select the Source tab in the Java Build Path settings editor
4. (At the bottom you will see the Default output folder)
5. Change WebContent to Web Content (add the blank space)
6. Press OK to save your changes
7. From the navigator view, delete the WebContent folder (not the Web Content folder)
8. Rebuild your HATS project

To set your workspace preferences to avoid this problem when creating new projects:

1. From the RAD toolbar, select Window > Preferences
2. Expand Java EE in the tree
3. Under Java EE, select Project
4. Find the Dynamic Web Project group in the Project settings editor (probably the third group from the top)
5. Change the Output Folder to Web Content/WEB-INF/classes (add a blank space in WebContent)
6. Change the Content Directory to Web Content (add a blank space in WebContent)

With this change, HATS Web projects will be created correctly. You must manually fix existing HATS Web projects that contain the extra WebContent folder even if you make this change. This change only affects the creation of HATS Web projects. It does not fix existing HATS Web projects.
