You will need to migrate any code using javax.servlet -- you may also have strings (for instance attribute names) using "javax.servlet" -- these also need changing. Sometimes web.xml has such references as well.
After running the conversion tool, search everything for "javax.servlet" and ensure they are updated or do not need to be (like text in a log file that is not important).
