I downloaded tomcat 5.5.29 and tried to access an application

that it is included and deployed by default it did not showed me any

When you access http://yourhost:8080
you should get the standard Tomcat homepage.
On the left, there is a link to the Manager application.
It should show that the correct URI for the "manager homepage" is
"/manager/html"
That is because :
- navigate to tomcat_dir/server/webapps/manager/WEB-INF
- edit the file web.xml
- in the servlet-mapping paragraphs, you will see one like this :
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>HTMLManager</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/html/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
If you want to be able to call the Manager homepage with the URL "/manager", then you
should add one section like this :
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>HTMLManager</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
and restart Tomcat.
This change, in effect, makes HTMLManager be the "default servlet" for the Manager
application.
I have no idea if this triggers secondary unwanted effects.
If it does not however, then I would respectively suggest to the Tomcat developers to
incorporate this as a standard servlet-mapping for the Manager, since the other one is a
bit un-intuitive.
