Tomcat 404 error, image js and css are not found

Question

I used tomcat 7 for deploy my war file. It contains various images, css and js file.

I configure my tomcat on port 8080. Everything goes fine but I don't know why these content not serve by tomcat. It gives 404 not found error.

Directory Structure

And I hit this below url

http://localhost:8080/images/jackson2.png

When I put these images outside ROOT folder to inside webapps/examples/ then it works fine.

Now what is wrong with it ? It there anything I missed ? I could not understand the issue ? Help me

Perhaps check that tomcat and/or the image files have the correct permissions set, I'm not too sure how to go about it on windows, depending on which version your running it could be a UAC issue, you can try looking here: https://www.mulesoft.com/tcat/tomcat-windows. You can try stopping tomcat, remove the work and temp directories, then starting tomcat.

Also, make sure you've got the right file extension there in the url. – Jaxon Dec 20 '16 at 06:05
file extension is right because if I copy these images and put in the webapps/examples/images/jackson2.png then it works – Kushal Jain Dec 20 '16 at 06:06
Okay, and your able to access other resources under the ROOT directory? – Jaxon Dec 20 '16 at 06:29
No, under ROOT directory I can only access html pages and jsp pages – Kushal Jain Dec 20 '16 at 07:06
Okay, try adding a WEB-INF/web.xml file, something like – Jaxon Dec 20 '16 at 07:24
