I don't know why this is coming up as 404 but my other servlet that's in the same package works just fine. I must be missing something simple here. Please let me know if you see anything wrong. I'm going through the Murach java servlets book and started having this issue and I have no idea what I did wrong
When I try to access AddEmailListServlet via the mapping /AE I get the 404 error. If I try to access /Emailsss that servlet loads up just fine. No idea why??

And the AE mapping doesn't want to work to AddEmailListServlet. Here's the servlet code:

*/
protected void processRequest(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException {
response.setContentType("text/html;charset=UTF-8");
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
try {
/* TODO output your page here. You may use following sample code. */
out.println("<!DOCTYPE html>");
out.println("<html>");
out.println("<head>");
out.println("<title>Servlet AddToEmailListServlet</title>");
out.println("</head>");
out.println("<body>");

out.println("</html>");
} finally {
