Error deploying WAR files

Question

I created a dynamic web project in eclipse and then export it as war file. I successfully deployed the war file using tomcat manager. The problem is when i try to access it , tomcat gives me 404 error.

I don't have files such as index.html inside the web app.

Answer 1

Check the web.xml the welcome-files section, in that section you define the files used as main pages for your application, eclipse put them by default [index.html, index.jsp, ...], you could change that configuration to your welcome page or servlet url.
