Answer 1

The problem is just as drvdijk mentioned, in order to run a webapp on tomcat from eclipse, it needs to be "deployed" to it. This can be done by right clicking the tomcat server -> add and remove

Alternatively, you can try to startup your tomcat server outside of eclipse. Go to your command line and type

  $CATALINA_HOME\bin\startup.bat          (Windows)

  $CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh           (Unix)

Where $catalina_home is the directory of where you installed tomcat
