Hi @nagbara , Did you got any break here ? I’m also facing similar issue.
Appreciate any help here.

Thanks.

It’s good to realize that a 404 Not Found is actually generated by Tomcat (or maybe something that is sitting in front of Tomcat, such as Nginx), not by Docker. So, the Docker part that is running Tomcat, and accessing the port on which Tomcat is running in the Docker container, seem to be working just fine.

To debug the cause of the 404 we need many more details.
