</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>but when i tried to submit the data of form it says

Answer 1

The class has to be in a package.
package project; //note it's a standard to have pkg names lower case.
public class FormServlet{
}Needless to say, when you put the class in a package project, the physical .java file has to be in a directory called 'project'.
And after you compile it, the .class file should be placed in the classes folder with the packaging. Thus your .class file ought to be in
<YOUR_WEB_ROOT>/WEB-INF/classes/project/FormServlet.classAnd finally your web.xml file should mention the fully qualified .class name - i.e
<servlet-name>Formservlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>project.Formservlet</servlet-class>ram.
