Immature Java Programmer needs help...

Question

I do not want to generate html code inside my java code, rather open a html page by referencing it in my java code to see it in the browser. For example, here is my code:
package mrpt;
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class Login extends HttpServlet
     public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
     throws ServletException, IOException
          response.setContentType ("text/html");
          PrintWriter out = response.getWriter ();
          response.sendRedirect ("http://localhost:8080/Login.htm");
The code compiles but when I open it in the browser (.\servlet\mrpt.Login) I get an error page "HTTP Status 500 -". I'm using the Tomcat Apache server. I have my html in the root directory and my .java and .class in the .\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\classes\mrpt. Can this be done? Is my code correct?

I do not want to generate html code inside my java

public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
     throws ServletException, IOException
I don't think this is right. try leaving it out ---          response.setContentType ("text/html");
          PrintWriter out = response.getWriter (); response.sendRedirect
t ("http://localhost:8080/Login.htm");
