  <p>But when i try to access my application it gave me ERROR 404, File not Found.</p>
  
  <p>I checked the application TOMCAT_HOME/webapps there i found both my war file and a folder of same name  - "JavaServerFaces"</p>
  
  <p><strong>TOMCAT_HOME/webapps directory :</strong>
  <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/DGExq.jpg" alt="Tomcat deployment Directory"></p>
  
  <p>The Server is ON, war file is present, A folder structure is generated, but still i am not able to access my application which gives 
  <code>HTTP Status 404 - /JavaServerFaces/xhtml/hello.xhtml</code></p>
  
  <p>Any solutions for proper deployment and running of war file on tomcat 7?</p>
