I have a simple hello world application with embedded tomcat v.8.5.28
It works fine when I explicitly add servlet and mapping:
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
Tomcat server = new Tomcat();
server.setPort(8080);
Context context = server.addContext("", Paths.get(".").toAbsolutePath().toString());
Tomcat.addServlet(context, "hello", new HelloServlet());
context.addServletMappingDecoded("/", "hello");
server.start();
server.getServer().await();
}
But if I delete addServlet and addServletMappingDecoded and annotate my servlet with @WebServlet(name = "HelloServlet", urlPatterns = "/hello") it doesn't work. http://localhost:8080/hello/ returns HTTP Status 404 – Not Found
I have this files hierarchy:
And this is file hierarchy in jar:
I have this output when trying to start my app

What paths should I pass to addWebapp so tomcat can find my web.xml?
