Tomcat7 serving blank pages

I am using Java with Tomcat7 to develop a web application. I'm a trying to test my services in local using Eclipse built-in environment. My servlets are working fine but I get blank pages when loading HTML file.

My home page is configured like so in my web.xml:

<welcome-file-list>
    <welcome-file>/index.html</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>

My ports 8005, 8080 and 8009 are not in used by another application. I tried switching Tomcat's location in Eclipse properties but nothing changed.

Why is Tomcat serving blank HTML pages?

Solution

  • Problem solved: I simply moved all my HTML files under the WebContent directory.

    WebContent appears to be the root directory of Java EE web applications under Eclipse.
