The requested resource is not available. Tomcat 7.0

Question

I am new to J2EE I am trying to run a html file as a trial on my tomcat 7.0 typing the url http://localhost:8081/ successfully navigates me to the tomcat home page but when i try run my "dynamic web project" from eclipse which contains nothing but web.xml and index.html file, I am getting this error

HTTP Status 404 - /StudentManagement/

type Status report

message /StudentManagement/

description The requested resource is not available.

web.xml content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 
<web-app xmlns:xsi="w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xmlns="java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"; xsi:schemaLocation="java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd"; id="WebApp_ID" version="3.0">
    <display-name>StudentManagement</display-name> 
    <welcome-file-list> 
        <welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>
    </welcome-file-list> 
</web-app>

It's tough to say what's going wrong without seeing the `web.xml` file. — Makoto, Aug 20 '15 at 17:03
You have to configure the URL to your project. Check your web.xml. — Arun, Aug 20 '15 at 17:03

If you don't have a welcome file set in your web.xml file then you have to specifically ask for the resource you want. In your case use http://localhost:8081/StudentManagement/index.html

Is your war file name appropriately? It should be `StudentManagement.war` – markbernard Aug 20 '15 at 17:35
I have web.xml file here is my code here is my xml file. ` StudentManagement index.html ` localhost:8081/StudentManagement/index.html gives the same error – – Saddam Hussain Aug 20 '15 at 17:43

On your Tomcat configuration (modules tab in eclipse) see which path is associated to your webapp
without servlet you have to declare explicitly a welcome file in the web.xml
