You need to have a doGet method as:

public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,
        HttpServletResponse response)
throws IOException, ServletException
{
    response.setContentType("text/html");
    PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();

    out.println("<html>");
    out.println("<head>");
    out.println("<title>Hola</title>");
    out.println("</head>");
    out.println("<body bgcolor=\"white\">");
    out.println("</body>");
    out.println("</html>");
}

You can see this link for a simple hello world servlet

You normally forward the request to a JSP for display. JSP is a view technology which provides a template to write plain vanilla HTML/CSS/JS in and provides ability to interact with backend Java code/variables with help of taglibs and EL. You can control the page flow with taglibs like JSTL. You can set any backend data as an attribute in any of the request, session or application scope and use EL (the ${} things) in JSP to access/display them. You can put JSP files in /WEB-INF folder to prevent users from directly accessing them without invoking the preprocessing servlet.

Kickoff example:
```
@WebServlet("/hello")
public class HelloWorldServlet extends HttpServlet {

    @Override
    protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
        String message = "Hello World";
        request.setAttribute("message", message); // This will be available as ${message}
        request.getRequestDispatcher("/WEB-INF/hello.jsp").forward(request, response);
    }

}
```
And /WEB-INF/hello.jsp look like:
```
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
    <head>
        <title>SO question 2370960</title>
    </head>
    <body>
         <p>Message: ${message}</p>
    </body>
</html>
```
When opening http://localhost:8080/contextpath/hello this will show
```
Message: Hello World
```
in the browser.

Apart of directly writing HTML on the PrintWriter obtained from the response (which is the standard way of outputting HTML from a Servlet), you can also include an HTML fragment contained in an external file by using a RequestDispatcher:

public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,
       HttpServletResponse response)
       throws IOException, ServletException {
   response.setContentType("text/html");
   PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
   out.println("HTML from an external file:");     
   request.getRequestDispatcher("/pathToFile/fragment.html")
          .include(request, response); 
   out.close();
}
