It looks like you didn't override the doGet method in your servlet.

Assister can give you more prompts if you paste your code...

did u override doGet() correctly, make sure the signature of the doGet is
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletRespons res).

Pavan Kumar gorakavi, JavaRanch is a community of people from all over the world, many of who are not native English speakers. While using abbreviations like "u" instead of spelling out "you" is convenient when text messaging your friends on a cell phone or in a chat room, it presents an extra challenge to those that are already struggling with English. Additionally, such shortcuts may confound automated translation tools that patrons of the Ranch may be making use of.

I would like to ask for your help in making the content of JavaRanch a little easier to read for everybody that visits here by not using such abbreviations.

Please read this for more information.

thanks,
