For gradle / maven project you can use src/main/webapp/WEB-INF folder by default:

- main
- - java
- - resources
- - webapp
- - - META-INF
- - - - context.xml
- - - WEB-INF
- - - - web.xml

If your deployment descriptor tab is disabled, then click on update libraries it will also do your work. It will create. Xml file in Web content

You can try this: right-click on the project and select Java EE Tools -> Generate Deployment Descriptor Stub. web.xml should be generated.
