Answer 1

Now you can just use annotations and it will be easier:

package com.yourpackage;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.ResourceBundle;

import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.annotation.WebServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpSession;

/**
 * Servlet implementation class HelloWorldServlet
 */
@WebServlet("/HelloWorldServlet")
public class HelloWorldServlet extends HttpServlet {

See WebServlet

Cheers!!
