Get HTTP 404 error when trying to 'see' first JSP file as described in the WROX book 'Beginning JSP Web Development'. This is the JSP file 'index.jsp' and I am following the books instructions, even restarting Tomcat yet the JSP can not be found. Tomcat examples work fine with no trouble. Any ideas?

 I figured it out!! I recreated the file via Notepad but saved it as an ASCII file instead of the default Text file and hence I can specify the extension without Notepad putting the .txt on the end as well. It was the .txt extension added by Notepad that was causing my problem....the URL I was using had index.jsp but what really was needed was index.jsp.txt.
