when the server starts from eclipse ide i cannot run the manager application..
i know this is quite a known issue and after lots of googling and searching coderanch posts..i tried various methods but didn't succeeded..

what i gain from searching is that;;
1.tomcat instance is different for eclipse ide..
2.i copied root and manager folder to C:\~\workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp0\wtpwebapps
and also edited the tomcat-users xml in the abve location under conf with a role defined for manager-gui.
that way i gained access to root app and the homepage gets displayed but the "manager app" is not accessible which is my concern here.
3.i tried modifying vm arguments catalina.home and catalina.base to tomcat directory also, didn't work.

though when i start tomcat from terminal separately(eclipse closed) i can access the manager app.

what i want is to integrate that manager app with the eclipse projects

I have no patience with the WTP Tomcat/server plugin. It doesn't actually use a separate Tomcat, but it does hack the Tomcat run environment to use an incomplete copy of the Tomcat configuration. And the copy process isn't automatic.

I use the sysdeo plugin instead. It runs Tomcat essentially the same way as Tomcat runs stand-alone, including the server config. And the level of integration with Eclipse is almost as tight as WTP without the headaches of WTP.
