Do something like this--->

<servlet>
        <description>
        </description>
        <display-name>
        Hello</display-name>
        <servlet-name>Hello</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>
        testing.Hello</servlet-class>
    </servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>Hello</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/Hello</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
 

Hello is the name of the servlet class


Ideally the web.xml should reside in the WEB-INF folder.
If you are using eclipse, you dont have to type the path in the browser yourself, therz an option in web.xml

<welcome-file-list>
        <welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>
        <welcome-file>index.htm</welcome-file>

where say index.html is your view that you have created.

Install WTP (the Web Tool Platform). It's an extension for Eclipse and
does a whole lot of administrative and other stuff for you.
