These directories and there content are also part of a Web Application.

You can read the specifications if you want to: http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/download.html http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/reference/api/index.html

The developers (the IDE, the build file, ...) of a Web Application create that structure.

Ask the provider of that Web Application. Consult the documentation of that Web Application.
