You have to include your servlet.api jars in the classpath of your project. You can do it by adding external jars option.

lol :). Servlet container is required for running a servlet. Download tomcat and browse lib folder. You will find servlet.api jar. Include this jar in your classpath.write web.xml start server run your servlet

It means your servlet.jar is not in the classpath. Set the classpath
