Solution 1

Assuming you have added tomcat to your eclipse. If your project is pure java project then it will not show you the run on server option in eclipe. You need to change project facet and add dynamic web module to it then you can run it on tomcat server from eclipse.Basically project needs to be web project.

After doing above if it gives error or do not run properly, check your project deployment assembly and add projects webapps folder in eclipse.

Solution 2

you need to have a tomcat installed in your eclipse and run it on the server.

Here is a tutorial to do this
