Looks like you went about the wrong way with the Context and url pattern combination.
Your servlet will work if you point your browser to http://localhost:8080/sampleapp/sampleapp If I am not mistaken changing <url-pattern>/sampleapp</url-pattern> to <url-pattern>/HelloServlet</url-pattern> should hopefully produce what you are after.
