I am accessing content (classes and jsp file) by following entry inside server.xml file

<Host name="test" debug="0" appBase="path where classes and WEB-INF resides"
                unpackWARs="false" autoDeploy="false">

                <Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger"
                    prefix="om_log." suffix=".log"
                    timestamp="true"/>

        <Context path="" docBase="path where classes and WEB-INF resides" debug="0"
               reloadable="false" crossContext="false" />
       </Host>

Assuming the structure of a web application as

TestApp -> WebContent -> WEB-INF
you may set docBase as shown below.

<Context path="/TestApp" docBase="C:/project/TestApp/webapp" debug="0"
           reloadable="false" crossContext="false" />

appBase="webapps"

The error arises when docBase is set to the context name only.

docBase="C:/project/TestApp"

That means that your .war file (in its zipped form) does not contain a directory WEB-INF which is meant to provide meta-data for the web-app such as e.g. web.xml . Or the classes directory within WEB-INF which holds the executable classes of your web-app (e.g. servlet code).

The directory name "WEB-INF" needs to be all uppercase. If you are on Windows, it may be that you have typed it in lower case, but windows zip utility shows it in upper case)
