wtpwebapps/myapp is empty when running Tomcat under Eclipse

Question

I know that tomcat is running because when I type http://localhost, the tomcat page dispay. My problem is I can't figure out why the wtpwebapps/myapp is empty, is like the eclipse doesn't publish it and when i type http://localhost/myapp, I get 404 error.

In the server overview :

• Server Location is set to "Use Tomcat installation" | server path: the servers's folder | deploy path : wtpwebapps
• Server Option : Publish module contexts to separate XML file
• Publishing : Automatically publish when ressource change

I use eclipse Ganymede 3.4.2, tomcat 6.0, under Win7

Any help would be appreciated, thanks

your files must be somwhere, so start searching in:

<YOUR_WORKSPACE_DIR>\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp<SOME_NUMBER>\wtpwebapps
