New to Servlet - Existing html doc

Question

I created a new servlet and have an existing html doc. How do I connect the doc to the servlet so that it will send request to the servlet.
In the html file I have the following code.
<form action = "/servlet/TEDServicesDatabrowserServlet" method = "post" name ="myName">
I place the follow in the web.xml file
<servlet>
<servlet-name>TEDServicesDatabrowserServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>mil.navy.nrlssc.dmap.TEDServices.TEDSServer.TEDServicesDatabrowserServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
     <param-name>WorkingDirectory</param-name>
<param-value>C:\tedsservletworkingdirectory</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
     <param-name>ScratchDirectory</param-name>
     <param-value>c:\apache\htdocs\mapb</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>

You are missing the servlet mapping tag. The servlet mapping tag maps the servlet name with a url pattern, so that the web server can understand which servlet to call.
In your html form specify this url-mapping
