HTTP Status 404 - on Eclipse with Tomcat

Question

I am trying just to run a servlet on my local Tomcat with Eclipse.

But I keep getting this error and do not have any idea what to do differently. <

Normally, when you modify the web.xml file, you should "clean" Tomcat. Just right-click on Tomcat in Eclipse and clean. Do same for project. You may also stop Tomcat, remove the app from Tomcat (right-click on app under Tomcat and remove) and then add it back. Restart Tomcat.
