Do something like this--->

<servlet>
		<description>
		</description>
		<display-name>
		Hello</display-name>
		<servlet-name>Hello</servlet-name>
		<servlet-class>
		testing.Hello</servlet-class>
	</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
		<servlet-name>Hello</servlet-name>
		<url-pattern>/Hello</url-pattern>
	</servlet-mapping>

Hello is the name of the servlet class


Ideally the web.xml should reside in the WEB-INF folder.
If you are using eclipse, you dont have to type the path in the browser yourself, therz an option in web.xml

<welcome-file-list>
		<welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>
		<welcome-file>index.htm</welcome-file>

where say index.html is your view that you have created.

Install WTP (the Web Tool Platform). It's an extension for Eclipse and
does a whole lot of administrative and other stuff for you.
