running and deploying servlet with eclipse and tomcat 7

Question

1. I created a test project based on Tomcat HelloWorld Servlet with Eclipse
2. and tried to run it from Eclipse as is with Tomcat 7, which I have configured to run on 1

Answer 1

Try putting a default Index.html page in the WebContent and see if the welcome page points to it. If yes then try entering the servlet name manually and see if that works. I get the same error but doing so fixes it.

http://localhost:8080//index.html

http://localhost:8080//servlet_name
