Servlet class get method:

protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
response.setContentType("text/html;charset=UTF-8");
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
out.println("<html>");
out.println("<head>");
out.println("<title>Servler example</title>");
out.println("<body>");
out.println("<h1>Package class simple servlet<h1>");
out.println("</body>");
out.println("</html>");
}

Post the link that you are trying to use to invoke this servlet. You should dynamicaly get your context path and then append your servlet name in your mapping.
