As in your question you are saying that your project gives you `404` error this means your project has not deployed properly on web server. – Altmish-E-Azam Dec 08 '14 at 11:32

You are asking a very broad question. But, in an attempt to point you in the right direction please see this article. The link given provides insight into the directory structure of your application.
Now as far as running "outside of eclipse" you should be able to export your project from the "File" menu as a "Web Application Archive" or "WAR" file. This file can then be placed under ${CATALINA_BASE}/webapps and be launched when you start your container.
If you are using a stock configuration and you have an archive named "myapp.war", you can access it on
http://localhost:8080/myapp
I hope this information helps you get to where you need to go.

Then follow the procedure
