Tomcat works fine, it is your WAR that is screwed up.
under WEB-INF there are two directories /lib and /classes
you have added in a JSP directory, and then you set your context root to
point to WEB-INF/xxx.
when you do this, Tomcat expects another (a second one) WEB-INF to be
available under WEB-INF/jsp
look at the servlet specification and on the other tomcat examples on how a
WAR file should look. the hint I can give you now is that WEB-INF is your
context classpath, all other files should be stored outside, and the context
root should point to the root of the WAR file.
