I am following derek banas' tutorial on youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HnJ501VK3M) and when I try to run the code the browser displays a status-404 and
Message: /Lesson41/
Description: The origin server did not find a current representation for the target resource or is not willing to disclose that one exists.
I was getting IllegalArguementsException saying something about 2 different servlets being mapped to the same url-pattern. So I removed the @WebServlet annotation. Now I'm getting the 404 and I don't know what the cause is. I think eclipse doesn't see the sayhello.html
Here is the code: Servlet: Lesson41.java
public class Lesson41 extends HttpServlet {
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
String usersName= request.getParameter("yourname");
String theLang = request.getParameter("Language");
int firstNum = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("firstnum"));
int secondNum = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("secondnum"));
int sumONum = firstNum + secondNum;
response.setContentType("text/html");
PrintWriter output = response.getWriter();
output.println("<html><body><h3>Hello " + usersName);
output.println("</h3><br />" + firstNum + " + " + secondNum);
output.println(" = " + sumONum + "<br />Speaks " + theLang);
output.println("</body></html>");
}
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
doGet(request, response);
}
}

What's your name?<br />

First Number<br />
<input name="firstnum" /><br />
Second Number<br />
<input name="secondnum" /><br />
<input type="hidden" name="Language" value="English" /><br />

The directory structure: directory Structure
Expected Output: It should show a form with fields for name, number1, number2 and a submit button. It correctly goes to localhost:8080/Lesson41/ but can't see the html.
