If it is Maven project, try adding this line to your POM file:

<packaging>war</packaging>

I've just added it and it changed from java app (red coffee icon) to web app (blue globe icon; if that is what you mean) automatically.

As far as i know there is no direct convert option.

In the past what I've done is either added the "Java Applicaton" as a dependency in a new web application or created a new web application and moved the code over.

Try delete the NetBeans Project configuration files and create a Web Application with existing sources.
