Open the Properties dialog for the web project and go to the Java EE
Module Dependencies page. Add a check for the Java project and click
OK. When the web project is published to a server or exported as a WAR
or as part of an EAR file, a jar will be created from the Java project
and included in the Web application's WEB-INF/lib.

The artifacts built from content placed under Java:src of the web
project will be included in the Web application's WEB-INF/classes. The
default dynamic web project will build the Java content to the
"build/classes" folder of the project. When the web project is
published to a server or exported, the "build/classes" content gets
copied to or included in "WEB-INF/classes".

Either approach above would fix this.

As mentioned above, "assembly" occurs when the project is published to a
server or is exported as a WAR, or as part of an EAR.
