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 ??

Thanks,

Joseph
