Answer 1

You are putting index.html inside the WEB-INF folder so you need to put index.html page outside of WEB-INF and inside the web Pages folder .

Like this(Netbeans Web application Structure):

You can refer above structure. it will work after that just clean and build your application and run on server.

I hope it will work for you :)
