I might be wrong but maybe you need to set something in your web.xml to deliver static files. (basically Tomcat is not designed to run static html files, you can use a combination of Apache serveur + tomcat serveur to do that).
I strongely recommand you to use an IDE such as Netbeans, create a new Java Web Application project, put your html file in the project build it. Netbeans will generate a correct [YourProjectName].war, that you can deploy or extract to see exactly how it was build, what you need to set etc...
