I’m trying to run a simple JAX-WS example I found on the web. So I wanted to setup Tomcat 7 under windows xp using Eclipse Helios 32 bit as the web server.

I remembered I had to have my app added as a resource to the Tomcat server, but nothing is coming up as a resource to add. I just have WS-Server and WS-Client projects for the app.

I’ve done this before, checked the server.xml and see http 1.1 port is 8080, but when I start up Tomcat under eclipse I’m getting a 404 error with this url: http://localhost:8080/, so Tomcat isn’t really running properly.

What am I missing here?

Thanks!

    If you’re getting a 404 – that means the web server is running. This likely means you don’t have anything mapped to the path specified (no servlets/default web page/etc).

    Either make a servlet and add it to your web.xml or define a home page html file.

    FYI, if you use the “Dynamic Web Project” setup; most of this is done for you. Here is a youtube video I always default to when I need to get a review on how to set up a quick tomcat instance in eclipse.
