Problem rendering the form with Java framework

Hello,
I'm a newbie. I need info on how to tell my servlet to display the xform I created. For security reason, I purposely placed my xform under WEB-INF directory. Since I don't know how to display my xform from my servlet app (yet), I'm trying to access it using a simple HTML file for now.
FYI, I followed the guide on Orbeon Wiki (http://wiki.orbeon.com/forms/doc/developer-guide/xforms-with-java-applications) very closely but since I run my app and the xform both on the same context, I skipped the configuration on the application server, e.g. server.xml.
=======
test.html
=======
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<a href="resources/xforms">My xform</a><br />
</body>
</html>
I went to access the page at http://localhost:8080/xform_context/test.html and clicked on the hyperlink, it appeared blank. Nothing was displayed. Tomcat log did not show any error messages either. From what it seemed, it looks like Tomcat didn't know how to render the xform correctly.
