I'm also able to access the index.jsp but I'm not able to access readme.html from the link.
You should be able to access a static resource, the same way you access the
jsp. Are you sure you have the readme.html at the root of the application? Also make sure the filename is correct (case does matter). Also, one of the mistakes that i remember doing, is create a html file using notepad and while saving it i saved it as a text file, which meant the file got saved as readme.html.txt. Make sure you havent done the same. Let us know how it goes, maybe someone else will be able to point out what's missing.
I suggest you create one readme.html file within the project root and then try to access it.
Pls let me know your findings...
Sorry, i dont have a running setup right now.
