Cannot access newly created folder in Tomcat

I am new to Tomcat, I installed it successfully and I am trying it out now.

I created a new directory "data" in the /usr/share/tomcat7/webapps/ directory and I can see the created directory when I browse this address "http://127.0.0.1:8080/manager/html". The problem is I cannot access the data folder that I created by accessing "http://127.0.0.1:8080/data/" I get a 404 error with the description "The requested resource is not available".

You may have noticed there was this line in the log file:

INFO: Deploying web application directory data

which means the directory is expected to be a web application; but I guess the directory is empty; so, there is actually nothing to be shown. Just put a simple index.html file in the directory and you will be able to go to the page using this address: http://127.0.0.1:8080/data/
