Tomcat 404 error: The origin server did not find a current representation for the target resource or is not willing to disclose that one exists

Problem solved, I've not added the index.html. Which is point out in the web.xml

enter image description here

Note: a project may have more than one web.xml file.

if there are another web.xml in

src/main/webapp/WEB-INF

Then you might need to add another index (this time index.jsp) to

src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/pages/


Hope this helps. From eclipse, you right click the project -> Run As -> Run on Server and then it worked for me. I used Eclipse Jee Neon and Apache Tomcat 9.0. :)

I just removed the head portion in index.html file and it worked fine.This is the head tag in html file
