Answer 2

Hi Gautam, context-root is used to tell application server as which webapp should a request be delegated to based on the URL. Now from my understanding you ant to access the resources inside your application as like http(s):/:/Test/YouResourceName. To do something like that I will suggest to keep the context-root as Test(not starting with '/'). You need to specify web-uri as the child element of tag where you have specified context-root. So it should look something like

Test-0.0.1.war Test
