          @Inject
          public ObjectFactory getObjectFactory()

      Overrides:
        `getObjectFactory` in class `AbstractCopyTask`

    - #### getWebInf

          @Internal

    - #### webInf

          public CopySpec webInf​(Closure configureClosure)

      Adds some content to the `WEB-INF` directory for this WAR archive.

      Adds some content to the `WEB-INF` directory for this WAR archive.

      The given action is executed to configure a `CopySpec`.

      Parameters:
        `configureAction` - The action to execute
      Returns:
        The newly created `CopySpec`.

    - #### getClasspath

          @Nullable
          @Optional
          @Classpath
          public FileCollection getClasspath()

      Returns the classpath to include in the WAR archive. Any JAR or ZIP files in this classpath are included in the `WEB-INF/lib` directory. Any directories in this classpath are included in the `WEB-INF/classes` directory.
      Returns:
        The classpath. Returns an empty collection when there is no classpath to include in the WAR.

    - #### setClasspath

          public void setClasspath​(FileCollection classpath)

      Sets the classpath to include in the WAR archive.
      Parameters:
        `classpath` - The classpath. Must not be null.
      Since:
        4.0

    - #### setClasspath

          public void setClasspath​(Object classpath)

      Sets the classpath to include in the WAR archive.
      Parameters:
        `classpath` - The classpath. Must not be null.

    - #### classpath

          public void classpath​(Object... classpath)

      Adds files to the classpath to include in the WAR archive.
      Parameters:
        `classpath` - The files to add. These are evaluated as per `Project.files(Object...)`

    - #### getWebXml

          @Nullable
          @Optional
          @PathSensitive(NONE)
          @InputFile
          public File getWebXml()

      Returns the `web.xml` file to include in the WAR archive. When `null`, no `web.xml` file is included in the WAR.
      Returns:
        The `web.xml` file.

    - #### setWebXml

          public void setWebXml​(@Nullable
                                File webXml)

      Sets the `web.xml` file to include in the WAR archive. When `null`, no `web.xml` file is included in the WAR.
      Parameters:
        `webXml` - The `web.xml` file. Maybe null.

    - #### getWebAppDirectory

          @Incubating
          @Internal
          public DirectoryProperty getWebAppDirectory()

      Returns the app directory of the task. Added to the output web archive by default.

      The `war` plugin sets the default value for all `War` tasks to `src/main/webapp` and adds it as a task input.

      Note, that if the `war` plugin is not applied then this property is ignored. In that case, clients can manually set an app directory as a task input.

      Returns:
        The app directory.
