Are you actually getting a 404 error (resource not found) or a &quot;Could not connect to server&quot; error?<br />
<br />
If it is truly a 404 then the server is running (since you need a web server to be present for it to respond with a specific error code like 404) but it has no contents within its webapps folder.

Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE) is a specification defining a collection of Java-based server and client technologies and how they interoperate. Java EE specifies server and client architectures and uses profiles to define technology sets targeted at specific classes of applications. All Java EE profiles share a set of common features, such as naming and resource injection, packaging rules and security requirements.

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
