HTTP Status 404 – The requested resource (/ProjectName/) is not available

by

By default, when you open the project root folder as in http://localhost:8080/ProjectName/ instead of a physical file as in http://localhost:8080/ProjectName/Index.jsp, then the server will lookup for a welcome file in web.xml. If none is found, then you’ll get this 404 “Page not found” error.

In your case, URLs and file names are case sensitive. You declared index.jsp to be the welcome file, but you mentioned that you’ve an Index.jsp. Rename it to index.jsp and then you’ll be able to open the webapp’s context root with the welcome file this way.
