I've run my webapp project in Eclipse, but today I received the message in console. Tomcat return me a 404 page error. Maybe the problem is that the folder where I would write doesn't exist. Where is the trick?
Solution
The easiest solution (and what worked for me) was to delete my tomcat server from the "Servers" view in Eclipse, then create a new server and add all the appropriate modules to it.
Sometimes tomcat gets confused and the easiest/least time consuming way to resolve things is to start over.
