Why does the new directory under Tomcat's WebApps directory not have access to the HTML file?

In the Tomcat installation directory, WebApps defaults to the directory used to deploy the Web site. Webapps/root is the root of the Web site, and other directories are subdirectories of the site, such as the Webapps\jsp-examples directory. However, when we create a new subdirectory, we do not have access to the browser normally. Even HTML files cannot be accessed. Why does this happen?

It turns out that in Tomcat, every subdirectory under the WebApps is considered a JSP site. Therefore, this subdirectory must have the necessary structure of the JSP site. That is, in the subdirectory created, you must have the Web_inf directory and the Web. xml file under Web_inf. The Web_inf directory, and the Web. xml file under it, is used by JSP to configure the site.

For example, in the test subdirectory, the following is the correct configuration of the directory structure for the Tomcat subdirectory:

webapps\
┝root\
││
│┕ ...
┕ test\
│
┝ index.html
│
┕ web_info\
│
┕ Web. XML

The empty Web. xml file reads as follows:

<?XML version= "1.0" encoding= "Iso-8859-1"?><!--Copyright 2004 the Apache software Foundation Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the "License");  You are not a use of this file except in compliance with the License.
