The URL http://localhost:8080/samena/, in the absence of a welcome file such as index.jsp, will request a directory listing. However, in Tomcat 5.5, directory listings are disabled by default, which will result in the error you see. I would guess that you either need to enable directory listings (see the conf/web.xml file) or add a welcome file to your webapp.
Also disabled is the non-spec legacy "/servlet/classname" method of executing servlets, which may have allowed your web.xml to work elsewhere. This is why servlet mappings are needed to execute your servlets as noted by Chuck.
