Fail.

You must put your servlets in a package - it's trivial to do so and bad
practice not to. The package corresponds to the directory structure.
com.mycompany.webstuff.Form1Servlet
is placed:
myApp/WEB-INF/classes/com/mycompany/webstuff/Form1Servlet.class
You can use any package structure you like, the above is an example of
the convention for a COMpany, called 'My Company', with a library of
code called 'Web Stuff'.
If you don't want a deep folder tree, just use a single directory:
package formprocessors;
public class Form1Servlet extends HttpServlet {
...
Full class reference:
formprocessors.Form1Servlet
Location:
myApp/WEB-INF/classes/formprocessors/Form1Servlet.class
