404 Not Found on clicking submit button - Servlet not working

Question

I am a beginner in Servlets so, trying to make a form and display the submitted data by clicking on the submit button. But for now, I have just printed "Welcome to Register form" but I am getting a 404 error not found.

I have tried several URLs in the action attribute of the HTML form:

But none of them resolved it.

RegisterServlet.java

package com. practice;

import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;

public class RegisterServlet extends HttpServlet {

    @Override
    public void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp) throws ServletException, IOException {

        System.out.println("Started ..............");
        resp.setContentType("text/html");
        PrintWriter out = resp.getWriter();

        out.println("<h2> Welcome to Register form </h2>");   // This is the line which needs to get printed
    }

}

index.html (form layout)
