web.xml

Where is the file "registration.class"?

Assuming it is in WEB-INF/classes/com/servlet, have you restarted the web app since putting it there?

I have tried to restart the web app , but no effect . Its still showing the same error message ..............

Have you looked at the log file, like the error message suggest?

This the log file

I even changed my folder from com.classes to just classes.servlet1
And made all the changes in the web.xml and jsp as well Still dont know what is the issue with this application from running

Like the error message says Tomcat cant find some essential class file.

A typical Tomcat installation includes a "class-loader-howto.html" file which explains in detail how Tomcat finds and loads classes. Study it.

IF your class name is registration (small initial character - bad practice, use initial Cap to keep classes clearly differentiated from packages)
THEN under WEB-INF/classes, tomcat expects a com subdirectory having a servlet subdirectory having a registration.class file.

Furthermore, under WEB-INF there must be the valid web.xml file.

Why did you try such odd-ball things as a com/classes directory or classes/servlet1 when the package appears to be "com.servlet"
