Sir do you want me to include `DepartmentServlet` in my `department.jsp` page but isn't ` — Sushant Baweja, Jul 07 '16 at 06:45
No I am suggesting that you include `department.jsp` Servlets are not included, the are GET'd or POST'd — Scary Wombat, Jul 07 '16 at 06:48
Sir can you please give a small example something similar to my case — Sushant Baweja, Jul 07 '16 at 07:08
Please check the following [link](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16683877/form-action-sampleservlet-giving-me-exception). It might help you. — greenPadawan, Jul 07 '16 at 08:05
where is your department.jsp is located in your project ? In IFRAME src you should give path of jsp from WEB-INF folder. — Darshit, Jul 07 '16 at 08:16
In the first part of image the table which you can see is in `department.jsp` so the path in iframe should be correcrt only when i submit does the 404 error page displays. `project name`->`Web Pages`->`WEB-INF`->web.xml . `Web Pages` ->`jsp/html files` (not in WEB-INF) — Sushant Baweja, Jul 07 '16 at 08:34
