Notice your form action:
<form action="/HelloWorldExample" method=post>
You prefixed it with a "/" meaning that it looks for your servlet from the
root of the web. Since your context is not the root of the web, the
message you got is exactly what I would expect. To be correct, here is
what you would do:
<form action="/kithany/HelloWorldExample" method=post>
Further, that will still not work because you have only defined your
servlet in the web.xml. You have not yet provided a mapping for it. For
defined servlets without mappings, Tomcat provides a default servlet
invoker at the path /yourcontext/servlet/*. So, to make this really work,
you would use:
<form action="/kithany/servlet/HelloWorldExample" method=post>
Also, you don't necessarily need to have the <servlet-name> be the same as
the <servlet-class>. I would provide a simpler name such as:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>hello</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>HelloWorldExample</servlet-class>
</servlet>
Now, you can actually access your servlet in two ways. The one above or:
<form action="/kithany/servlet/hello" method=post>
Better yet, provide a servlet-mapping such as:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>hello</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/hi</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
Now you can access it via:
<form action="/kithany/hi" method=post>
This is all pretty basic stuff. You should take a look at a book like
Jason Hunter's Java Servlet Programming, Second Edition. It will provide
you with all you need to get a base understanding of servlets. Then you
can concentrate on the really tough questions.
Hope that helped.
