Solution 1

check web.xml file of your project, you have to registrate your servlet there.check this also

use <form action="/login" method="post" > in html and

in web.xml

<servlet-class>your.class.package.Loginservlet</servlet-class>
                          </servlet>

Solution 2

As you look into your servlet class, there is no package defined, which is required. And map that class with package(mean fully qualified name) in <servlet-class/> tag.

Another thing is you are setting action to url servlet/LogininServlet, but given different url in <url-pattern/> tag, which is wrong. you can simply set the form action to login
