servlets - JSP context root shows empty page

Question

OpenJDK8 Java EE project using Tomcat 8.5 on Eclipse.

Let's say my project's context root is "/sample".

There is no problem presenting pages with URL "/sample/index.jsp".

If the URL's very end is "/sample"(which is context root),however, it shows an empty blank page.

I tried cleaning project, re-starting server and checking web.xml files but no error was found yet.

This has happened after merging with my teammates.

Answer 1

I exported the project and deleted from Eclipse.
Then I imported the project again and edit web.xml.
Hope this works for the ones who are struggling with the sample problem.
