appl.war is deployed to webapp folder of Tomcat. when server started I can see below line in server log : ...Deployment of web application archive appl.war has finished in 181 ms.
Also the appl directory created but do not see any content in it.
Hence when I browse giving the context root /appl I get error message that "page cant be displayed".
What is going wrong any idea ?
You problem sounds similar to the stackoverflow link below,
Tomcat creates WEB-INF/lib but doesnt explode war files (GWT)
