添加servlet或过滤器时，web.xml intellij不会自动完成

Question

When i create a servlet or a filter in eclipse the xml code is automatically insert into the web.xml. But when i do the same thing in Intellij i need to manually edit the xml file.

When i type the code below in Intellij i get an error "filter should have mapping" But why is this not automatically created when i use the code below.

<filter>
    <filter-name>TestFilter</filter-name>
    <filter-class>be.demoapp.filters.TestFilter</filter-class>
</filter>

There has to be a very simple answer for this but i can't figure out why Intellij does not auto complete the web.xml and eclipse does. Or do i need to turn on some plugin. I can't find a good answer on this ?

*Edit these are the settings in my project

Answer 1

Inside your class, use the annotation @WebFilter(name = "TestFilter", urlPatterns = "/TestFilter")

It won't show in web.xml but it will do the trick.
