Robert,
As Phillip said you have just met the Ghost of Invoker Past.
Short story is that it can be used for evil thus commented out.
Short fix is to uncomment it.
But as you did try the correct way you tried to add mappings, I say good for
you and don't give up yet. No to fix your problem. You have that you added:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>SampleServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>samplepackage.SampleServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
If this is all you put in then your problem is you are missing the second
part.
Here is an example of a working web.xml.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application
2.2//EN" "http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_2.dtd";>
<web-app id="WebApp">

<servlet-name>Info</servlet-name>
<display-name>Info</display-name>
<servlet-class>reeper.Info</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet>

</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Status</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>Status</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>
<welcome-file>index.htm</welcome-file>
<welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
<welcome-file>default.html</welcome-file>
<welcome-file>default.htm</welcome-file>

</welcome-file-list>

Note the order is important.
