Thanks for explanation. I am using http://localhost:8080/hello.jsp. I kept that in $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/ROOT/ and jsp seems to be correct, however, the issue is still showing up. No modification has made to conf/web.xml and server.xml. Case is also taken care of.
HTTP Status 404 - /hello.jsp ------------------------------ *type* Status report *message* */hello.jsp* *description* *The requested resource (/hello.jsp) is not available.* Any pointers ??
