NB upgrade - from tomcat to glassfish

Question

I upgraded NetBeans from 5.5b to 6.1. There is no longer a bundled tomcat, instead there is glassfish.
My old web projects (written against tomcat) build correctly but they no longer run under glassfish. I get a 404 when I try to access them. I do not know glassfish well enough to troubleshoot via gf log messages whey they are not running under gf.
Should these old tomcat projects run orrectly in glassfish or do i have to configure a file like web.xml in order to get them to run under glassfsh?

What URL do you use to invoke the web app? Do you package it in a WAR file? Tomcat's default port is 8080; what port is Glassfish listening to for HTTP requests?
I hit 'run main project' - the main project builds, then glassfish is started, and a browser window starts up with the web app.
I am new to glassfish - I checked Services/Servers/GlassfishV2/Properties - it says
Location: localhost:8484
is that the port you are asking about?
