Problems configuring Tomcat

[webdev17]

I'm trying to set up Tomcat to work with Eclipse. This is my first attempt to get Eclipse and Tomcat working on my computer and I'm running into some problems. I installed Eclipse and the pluggin to run Tomcat in Eclipse. However, when I try to run any servlets or jsps, I'm getting a "HTTP Status 404 - The requested resource (/ServletDemo/SimpleServlet/) is not available" error.

I've never set up any of these tools before and I'm sure somewhere I don't have something configured correctly. I'm not getting any errors in the console when I run the server, but I do get this warning:

"INFO: The Apache Tomcat Native library which allows optimal performance in production environments was not found on the java.library.path: C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_14\bin;.;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_04\bin\client;C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_04\bin;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\;C:\Sun\SDK\bin;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_14\bin;"

Any thoughts about where I might be doing something wrong?

Thanks!

Ok...I tried a few things and I figured out that Tomcat is working just fine. But I'm still confused about how you can run localhost from the server directly in Eclipse.

If I manually move my project into the directory - C:\apache-tomcat-5.5.26\webapps then I can view it in the browser, but shouldn't there be a way to configure the same thing to happen from Eclipse when you right-click on the file and select Run As > Run on Server?
