Question

I know this question is asked many times, I have tried all the possible solutions still the problem persists. Actually the very same project runs with 0 errors in Tomcat 8 which was deployed directly from netbeans. I created a new project in eclipse and deployed in Websphere Application Server 8.0. Then all goes fine but the URL is not recognized. My code is below.
