Hello,
The jsp files placed directly in WEB-INF are not served by the container to the client (see Servlet 3.0 specification, section 10.5: Directory Structure, page 99). To solve this, the jsp file should be located in WebContent.
Hope this helps

Thanks..... It worked. Smile

I have just put my jsp file under WebContent folder instead of WEB-INF folder. This

solved my issue.

You may be mixing technical aspects of Web applications. JSPs are
compiled by the servlet container (i.e. Tomcat), which determines where
the ".java" and ".class" file are created. It definitely won't be under
WEB-INF. In the case of Tomcat, these will be found under a "work"
folder under the "catalina.base" (a.k.a. CATALINA_BASE) location. For
the Tomcat support in WTP, "catalina.base" is typically found under
"<workspace
location>/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.wst.server.core/tmp?". The "?"
starts at 0 and increments for each additional server you might create.
If you are curious about details of the WTP Tomcat support, see the
WTP Tomcat FAQ at http://wiki.eclipse.org/WTP_Tomcat_FAQ.

If you haven't already identified the problem, it is likely related to
the code on the JSP page. I can't say much more without additional
information.

Cheers,
Larry

Thank you so much for your reply.

You are right that java file won't be under WEB-INF.

I put my java files under Java Resources-->src folder & jsp files under WebContent folder.

Now all is working fine.

^ This solved my issue

"description: The requested resource is not available."

I also placed my 'index' file in "WebContent" folder instead of "WebContent\WEB-INF" folder.
