Since you *still* didn't say what URL you were trying to submit to :-), I
will make an assumption.
The correct URL for the "book" servlet would be:
http://localhost:8080/book/book
because you're using "/book" both as the context path *and* as the servlet
path. URL patterns in <servlet-mapping> entries are relative to the
context path of the web application, not from the base of th server.
See the servlet spec for more information.
