将Servlet映射到web.xml

Question

I was doing some changes to my web.xml when I started to get a 404 error. My servlet just prints out json data. Or my tomcat server just does not respond when I try to run the code. What seems to be the problem? I have tried different servlet mapping and still does not seem to be working. Thank you for taking the time to review my code it is very appreciated!

    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>inventory</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>InventoryServlet</servlet-class> 
    </servlet>
    <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>inventory</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>InventoryServlet</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>

</web-app>

The start to my servlet that just prints out the JSON data.

   @SuppressWarnings("serial")
    public class InventoryServlet extends HttpServlet {

        @Override
        protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {

Verify that you has set your class correctly, example:

<servlet>
    <servlet-name>MyServletClass</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>myPackage.mySubPackage.myClass</servlet-class>
</servlet>

I found this tutorial where you can see a complete example for JPS and Servlet and how to modify your web.xml file. All the code is available, so I think it can help you: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-hangman-app/index.html
