AN EARLY RESPONSE WOULD BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED AS I AM HAVING NIGHTMARE FROM THE PAST TWO DAYS DU TO THIS

thank you

Try to make class MyPage public, i.e.:

Hi,
I did that but still its not working

is there a problem in tomcat or there is something wrong in my code

The problem may be in your failure to put your servlet in a package and define that package in the web.xml class section.

This is a common beginner error.

If your class is not in a defined package this is called the "default" package. The JVM looks for default package classes in the "current" directory - in the servlet environment you have no control over the current directory.

See this FAQ entry on the invoker servlet - which early servlet container implementors liked to use, supposedly to make it easy for beginners - this was a really really bad idea.

So: ALL classes used in servlets should be in packages and compiled classes located accordingly.

The servlet class not being in a package, while not good practice, shouldn't stop it working.

Do you get a different error message or the same?
Running on Tomcat 7 I got:

message: HTTP method GET is not supported by this URL
description: The specified HTTP method is not allowed for the requested resource (HTTP method GET is not supported by this URL).

The issue is caused because you haven't declared a method:

I will admit to having to put the code into my IDE, and then use Eclipse's "override/implement" methods feature before I spotted the spelling mistake in your version.

It might work -- it might not. It's hit or miss, and the first thing to eliminate as a possible source of problems.

Remove concatenation in out.println method it is browser issue

Huh?

That sounds like nonsense.
