I'm getting simular issue. Tomcat is working and see its welcome page in
Firefox. When I run a imple jsp in Eclipse, it is giving 404. What do I
have to do?

This is normal.

When you start Tomcat manually, it uses YOUR-TOMCAT-HOME/webapps as 
default webapp directory. This directory contains "ROOT" webapp (visible

on context "/"), and that is the welcome page you see.

On the other side, when you start Tomcat inside Eclipse, it uses some 
other webapp folder like 
YOUR-ECLIPSE-WORKSPACE/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.wst.server.core/tm
p0/wtpwebapps, 
which doesn't contains ROOT webapp (or, sometimes contains blank ROOT 
webapp). In that case on context "/" (http://localhost:8080/), you will 
get either HTTP error 404 or blank page.
