I'm a real newbie when it comes to Eclipse, using Tomcat, and JPS pages. I've been going through very specific directions (from a training class), and I've redone my work to make sure I haven't missed steps, but I continually seem to run into an issue with Tomcat giving me a 404 error. The problem doesn't always occur on the same step, therefore I'm certain it's not an issue with the directions.

This latest issue seemed to occur without any changes on my part. Worked yesterday, but now the problem today. Previously when I ran into this, I figured out that if I created a new server and re-added my project, it would work again (with the new server).

Environment
Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers
Indigo Service Release 1
Build id: 20110916-0149
Tomcat 5.5
Windows 2003 Server

Any help/guidance on how to troubleshoot this would be appreciated.

Here's another clue. I selected Run As >> Run on Server for my Project and it works within the Eclipse Browser, though still not on Firefox.

HTTP 404 is very common when you get started and until you finally grok
the web.xml file. I can offer this rather in-depth tutorial for you to
make use of whatever help it is:

If, as you go along, you have specific problems, they are best submitted
to the Eclipse web tools platform forum (rather than this newcomer forum).
