Serialization error due to different folder structure on local and server machine

[Abhishek Yadav]

I am getting following error in my server tomcat logs:-

ERROR: The serialization policy file '/nos/js/4937711D6147993DCFE47FF203A0FEDC.gwt.rpc' was not found; did you forget to include it in this deployment?
 
On my local machine the above path is present and tomcat is able to locate it and hence I don't get this error. All the folders are present inside nos folder.

But on server, all the folders are present inside ROOT and nos folder is not present and hence server tomcat is not able to identify this path

I am providing folder structure on my local machine and server below :-

Windows folder structure

Can anyone suggest how can I make consistent folder structure between server and local machine by keeping both of these folders in sync ?

Let me know if my understand is incorrect ?
