title: Open JSP Page directly in brower using URL
body: <p>I am using Apache-Tomcat-7 and I placed a jsp page( <code>myjsp.jsp</code> ) in </p>
  
  <pre><code>...\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp0\wtpwebapps\desktop\
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have started the tomcat and trying the following URL to open the jsp page</p>
  
  <pre><code>http://localhost:8089/desktop/myjsp.jsp
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But it is giving <strong>404</strong>. I donot want it to open through other means. Can any body tell me that what I am doing wrong?</p>
  
  <p>P.S. localhost:8089 works fine for other applications and tomcate is configured to this port-8089.</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT</strong></p>
  
  <p>When I placed the <code>myjsp.jsp</code> in <code>ROOT</code> folder under </p>
  
  <pre><code>...\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp0\wtpwebapps\ROOT\
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and try</p>
  
  <pre><code>http://localhost:8089/myjsp.jsp
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now it works. So what is the reason that in the desktop folder the jsp was <strong>NOT</strong> found </p>
  
  <p><strong>OR</strong> </p>
  
  <p>how can I access <code>myjsp.jsp</code> if it is placed within <code>desktop</code> folder?</p>
