Answer 1

if you have called your project in eclipse: rest, so you should get the correct message: "Hello world!" from tomcat with the url:

http://localhost:8080/rest/hello.

If you for example have called your project: MyHello, with the code you posted the correct url should be:

http://localhost:8080/MyHello/hello

(The reason is that Eclipse create by default a war called as the name of the project and publish it to the tomcat server you have added in your configuration)
