Answer 1

Their is nothing wrong in code you provided above. your servlet name is 'Helloworld' and URL you are tryng is

http://localhost:8080/HelloworldServlet

if you want to run same servlet try

http://localhost:8080/HelloworldServlet/Helloworld

also Restart your server and check for URL.

Answer 2

Remove "Servlet" from the url, something like http://localhost:8080/Helloworld

Answer 3

Is this class part of a WAR application? Try putting the WAR name between the port and HelloWorld.
