Maven WAR file directory structure is incorrect - Teamcity

Question

The war file created by Teamcity Maven build isn't correct. There are duplicate web.xml and all root files are under classes. I'm new to maven and teamcity. Can someone point out what went wrong here?

Here is the war file structure:

[root@hostname ~]# unzip LoginDemo-1.0.0.17.war -d LoginDemo-1.0.0.17
[root@hostname ~]# tree LoginDemo-1.0.0.17
LoginDemo-1.0.0.17
├── META-INF
│   ├── MANIFEST.MF
│   └── maven
│       └── LoginDemo
│           └── LoginDemo
│               ├── pom.properties
│               └── pom.xml
└── WEB-INF
    ├── classes
    │   ├── error.html
    │   ├── login.html
    │   ├── logout.jsp
    │   ├── META-INF
    │   │   └── MANIFEST.MF
    │   ├── securePage1.jsp
    │   ├── securePage2.jsp
    │   └── WEB-INF
    │       └── web.xml
    └── web.xml

My Source directory structure is

[root@hostname src]# tree /opt/teamcity/work/a1335cb631475bf4/src/main/webapp/
/opt/teamcity/work/a1335cb631475bf4/src/main/webapp/
├── error.html
├── login.html
├── logout.jsp
├── META-INF
│   └── MANIFEST.MF
├── securePage1.jsp
├── securePage2.jsp
└── WEB-INF
    └── web.xml

My Teamcity Build configuration looks like this.

Pom.xml looks like the following:

Fixed it. warSourceDirectory should have been src/main/webapp and then I also deleted the resources (I think its for other external stuff that needs to be included). Now the War file structure is correct.

Here is the updated POM.xml
