Do you configure your web.xml file? – Ali Sepehri.Kh Dec 23 '14 at 11:38 — Ali Sepehri.Kh, Dec 23 '14 at 11:38

1.make a simple index.jsp page and copy it to /usr/share/tomcat7/webapps/test/. Type http://localhost:8080/test/ in your browser. Does it show your index.jsp page? If yes goto next level.

2.Your web.xml file should contains mapping to your servlet:

<web-app>
    ......
    <servlet>
         <servlet-name>HelloWorld</servlet-name>
         <servlet-class>HelloWorld</servlet-class>
    </servlet>

    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>HelloWorld</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/HelloWorld</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
