When I deploy and run the application from eclipse everything works fine, but when I try to generate manually WAR file I have problems.
I entered application root folder. Open terminal and wrote:
jar -cvf forum.war *
It generates war file with this log:

I copied it to tomcat's webapps folder and started the server. I couldn't find the application on: localhost:8080/forum/homepage.html. Still I found it on: localhost:8080/forum/WebContent/homepage.html but I have problems with rest service since I target localhost:8080/forum/WebContent/rest/authenticate.

The structure of the WAR you get is incorrect. It must contain WEB-INF directory in its root 'directory' (and not in WebContent directory). Also, classes must go to WEB-INF/classes and not to build/classes. src is usually not included, although it should not harm.
I'd suggest to use some build tool. That could be Maven 3, for instance. An example can be found here: https://www.mkyong.com/maven/how-to-create-a-web-application-project-with-maven/
For maven project, you just do mvn package and it builds your project for you: compiles, builds jars, then war.
If you prefer ant, take a look at https://ant.apache.org/manual/Tasks/war.html
