Question posted in 
This is my first post. I hope someone can help me =)
Usually I’ll try to find solutions to this kind of problems on my own.
But this issue is causing me headache …
With the action tag in the html code below I want to start the java servlet.
Sadly I always get the HTTP 404 – Not found error.
I’ve already tried to write /Login, ../Login, Login (upper and lower case) and so on.
Here is my directory structure:
.
├── ps_18_gruppe09
│ └── src
│ ├── main
│ │ └── com.food42.servlet
│ │ └── LoginServelet.java
│ WebContent
│ ├── html
│ │ └── login.jsp
│ └── WEB-INF
│ └── lib
│ └── web.xml
I’ve already tried the solutions answered on similar kind of posts but they sadly didn’t help.
In my Java Build Path I’ve the following Libraries installed:
Apache Tomcat v8.5
JRE System Library[jre1.8.0_201a]
Web App Libraries
MySQL JDBC Driver
EAR Libraries
JUnit5
log4j-1.2.17.jar
Source Folder is ps_18_gruppe09/src/main
Full error message:
HTTP Status 404 – Not Found
Type Status Report
Message /ps_18_gruppe09/Login
Description The origin server did not find a current representation
for the target resource or is not willing to disclose that one exists.Apache Tomcat/8.5.35
Thanks in advance for your help =)

I managed to solve the problem. I'll post the solution maybe it helps someone with a similar kind of problem.
I had to change my project directory structure. My problem was that i named my java-packages
com.example.test(in my projectcom.food42.servlet) instead of creating a directory for com and in the com directory a directory named example and so on.Before:
Afterwards:
Credit to my professor who helped me find out what the problem was =)
Some images to better show my changes:
In a similar project I have, I do it this way,
1 – I don’t declare anything in the Servlet class, just have it like that,
& I make all the Servlet declarations inside my web.xml,
This is probably not related to your issue but you can try it in a similar way.
2 – What is different though that maybe causes the issue is that you can try to place your login.jsp page at the same level as WEB-INF, meaning directly under /WebContent, it will probably work.
Hope it helps!
