The problem : My index.jsp with web.xml keeps going into HTTP 404 and 500
I'm using Tomcat6 .
This is from index.jsp :
<legend>Registration</legend>
<form action="./register"> <%-- Address from web.xml --%>
First name: <input type="text" name="firstName"><br>
Last name: <input type="text" name="lastName"><br>
<input type="submit" value="Register">
</form>
When I'm in Registration :
and I hit the name and last-name , I go into 404 , the message :
HTTP Status 404 - Servlet RegistrationServlet is not available
type Status report
message Servlet RegistrationServlet is not available
description The requested resource (Servlet RegistrationServlet is not available) is not available.
Apache Tomcat/6.0.35
What do you think it the cause for that error ?
The class RegistrationServlet is under the file RegistrationServlet.java in the folder src/coreservlets/
I checked web.xml but it seems to be okay , but here it is (if it would be helpful):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

I've been trying to fix this little culprit for the last two days but nothing , any help would be much appreciated .
EDIT:
As requested , here is RegistrationServlet
package coreservlets;
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class RegistrationServlet extends HttpServlet {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
@Override
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException {
HttpSession session = request.getSession();
synchronized (session) {
NameBean nameBean = (NameBean) session.getAttribute("name");
if (nameBean == null) {
nameBean = new NameBean();
session.setAttribute("name", nameBean);
}
nameBean.setFirstName(request.getParameter("firstName"));
nameBean.setLastName(request.getParameter("lastName"));
String address = "/WEB-INF/mvc-sharing/ShowName.jsp";
RequestDispatcher dispatcher = request
.getRequestDispatcher(address);
dispatcher.forward(request, response);
}
}
}
