I think I understand you are saying you code <SERVLET> in your html page, and expect that to call a servlet?
That's not how it works.
You can call a servlet from POST method of <form>.
My recollection is that at one time there was discussion in the HTML groups abut having a <servlet> tag that was somewhat like <
applet>, but it never materialized.
<applet> is also now deprecated in favor of <object>. See the HTML specs at
www.w3c.org.
And please do not work with old books or documentation. You are much better off just searching the web for current examples.
