Please post code inside the CODE tags. It is much easier to read that way

As for the 404, are you sure the app is deployed ? How did you confirm this ?

What is the URL with which you tried to access the servlet ?

http://localhost:8080/sample/hello.jsp

Is sample the name of your web application?

You are invoking a jsp not the servlet

http://localhost:8080/servlet/HelloWorldExample

my classpath is C:\>set CLASSPATH=.;C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\common\lib\servlet-api.jar
