Tomcat 7 in Eclipse Indigo: Tomcat failing to start

I am trying to run a war file via Tomcat in Eclipse. But, when I am trying to run it, I am getting the following error in Server console:

Your project should be created as a Dynamic Web Project.

Since your project is already created, you should add the Dynamic Web Module facet to it.

Right-click the project --> Properties --> Project Facets --> check the Dynamic Web Module facet --> OK.
