Hi All,
finally the issue resolved I took the below mentioned steps
1. Copied the code again
2. There was an extra slash like C:\Tomcat5.5\ in TOMCAT home setting in eclipse . I changed it to C:\Tomcat5.5
3. Set Tomcat base to C:\Tomcat5.5
4. All the above Tomcat home and base setting was done in Eclipse /window/preference/ tomcat settings.

Thanks
