and i have saved my index file in root folder i.e. ...test folder under webapps

thanks in advance

It looks fine at first glance (except the strange class naming)
Which container are you using ?

tomcat 5.5

Did you restart the container ?

And what does the following url display ?
http://localhost:8080/test/index.html

it also displays nothing

What is the full path of your index.html ?
Where did you put the "test" application in Tomcat ?

C:\Tools\apache-tomcat-5.5\webapps\test

actually, i can run the servlet with tomcat but,

if i tried to run

http://localhost:8080

it displays

The page cannot be found
The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

Are you sure Tomcat is running ?

yep is running

hello..u dere

hello..u dere

No, I'm not a full time member

You are not using any other web servers (like IIS) ?

i only have tomcat installed in my system

sojan,
In an effort to help you get the most from our forums, we've compiled a
list of tips for asking questions here. You can find the list in our
FAQ section here.
In particular please see:
UseRealWords

Abbreviations such as "u" or "ur" in
place of "you" and "you are" or "you're" confound language translation software making
it hard for our non-English speaking members to read your posts.
"plz" is not a word in the English language.

Again, welcome to JavaRanch and good luck with your question.

Where, exactly, is your web.xml file?

Is it in a folder named [tomcat install]/webapps/test/WEB-INF
?

Everything seems to be good.

Are you sure that the test application is getting deployed without any errors?
Check for catalina log (check the console)and localhost log in log directory.This might help.

try to put that index.jsp in a folder called "jsp" in your WEB-INF folder or put that jsp out side of your WEB-INF folder

no need of all those.. actually the error was very simple.

i forgot to put "/" while closing the title tag inside html file
<title></title>
