HTTP Status 500 Error instantiating servlet class [duplicate]

Answer 1

First of all, your web.xml lists TestServlet as the class name for your server, as opposed to HomeServlet.

Second, it seems that although your HomeServlet class is in package website.web, it's physically located in a folder called website, not website/web. I would be surprised to see this even compile correctly?

Answer 2

I think somethin wrong in this section:

<servlet-class>website.web.HomeServlet</servlet-class>

Instead try:

<servlet-class>website.HomeServlet</servlet-class>
