Your servlet-name is different within servlet-mapping.

Refer below mentioned snippet,

 <servlet>
   <servlet-name>Hi</servlet-name>
   <servlet-class>Hello</servlet-class>
 </servlet>
 <servlet-mapping>
   <servlet-name>Hi</servlet-name>
   <url-pattern>/hello</url-pattern>
 </servlet-mapping>

Code is working but not resolving the error :( – CandleCoder Feb 10 '15 at 08:44
Did you mention the servlet-class with complete package details? Also the url-pattern is /hello instead of /Hello – Manoj Namodurai Feb 10 '15 at 10:26

When defining servlets in your web.xml, you must create two things:

register servlets
register mppings for those servlets

In your example for Hi servlet, you have no request mapping defined. And for /hello path there is no servlet, named 'Servlet'.

    <servlet>
      <servlet-name>Hi</servlet-name> // name of your servlet in this context
      <servlet-class>com.example.web.servlets.Hello</servlet-class> // your servlet class(should include package)
    </servlet>
    <servlet-mapping>
      <servlet-name>Hi</servlet-name> // reference to your servlet name
      <url-pattern>/hello</url-pattern> // mapped path
    </servlet-mapping>

We could start with that, tell us, it this solved your problem.

Your code has error itself...as showing in eclipse – CandleCoder Feb 10 '15 at 07:46
Could you share this error? Code is correct according to JEE standards, as long as classes exist under given paths. – Beri Feb 10 '15 at 07:49
cvc-complex-type.2.4.a: Invalid content was found starting with element 'servlet-name'.
