Start Tomcat Server from Eclipse.
Access the webpage as http://localhost:8080/TestTomcat/      -- TestTomcat is the my Tomcat project which we created in step 5.
Also you can create a war file and place it in     your specified folder by right clicking the project and Tomcat Project     ->Export war.
But first you will have to do the settings by rightclicking Tomcat Project->Properties->Export war configuration.
