When running project as server, I get:

address in address bar: http://localhost:8080/ApplicationOne/
HTTP Status 404 - /ApplicationOne/
type Status report
message /ApplicationOne/
description The requested resource (/ApplicationOne/) is not available.
Apache Tomcat/5.5.31

When running form.html as server, I get:

address in address bar: http://localhost:8080/ApplicationOne/WEB-INF/Form.html
HTTP Status 404 -
type Status report
message
description The requested resource () is not available.
Apache Tomcat/5.5.31

Solution

  • WEB-INF is a private directory (It will contains configs and compile code). form.html should be directly under WebContent/.

    To double check the context path of your application you can visit: http://localhost:8080/manager/html
