title: Cannot deploy a simple war-file to Glassfish 4
body: <p>In the beginning I have to admit that I am very new to Glassfish server.</p>
  
  <p>I have a very simple war-file (helloworld.war) which contains only one html-file (index.html): <a href="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/69838986/helloworld.war" rel="nofollow">https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/69838986/helloworld.war</a>.</p>
  
  <p>I can deploy it to GlassFish Server Open Source Edition 4.0, but when I call <a href="http://localhost:8080/helloworld/index.html" rel="nofollow">http://localhost:8080/helloworld/index.html</a> I get only a blank page. "View source" on this page is also blank.</p>
  
  <p>I deployed the war-file in 2 ways:<br>
  -I put it in the autodeploy-folder. The file "helloworld.war_deployed" is generated.<br>
  -Commandline: asadmin deploy "C:\Temp\helloworld.war". Result: Application deployed with name helloworld. Command deploy executed successfully.</p>
  
  <p>Any idea why my index.html doesn't come up?</p>
  
  <p>Regards,
  Steffen</p>
