For this to be recognized, you need to do two more things:
* Establish a servlet mapping for your servlet:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Quote</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/quote</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
* Use this mapping in the URL that requests the servlet:
http://localhost:8080/myapp/quote
where "/myapp" is the context path of your web application.
