The problem is that you mapped your servlet to /register.html and it expects POST method, because you implemented only doPost() method. So when you open register.html page, it will not open html page with the form but servlet that handles the form data.

Alternatively when you submit POST form to non-existing URL, web container will display 405 error (method not allowed) instead of 404 (not found).

To fix:

<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>Register</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/Register</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

I think your issue may be in the url pattern  Changing   lt servlet-mapping gt       lt servlet-name gt Register lt  servlet-name gt       lt url-pattern gt  Register lt  url-pattern gt   lt  servlet-mapping gt    and   lt form action   Register  method  post  gt    may fix your problem

Override service method like this    protected void service HttpServletRequest request  HttpServletResponse   response  throws ServletException  IOException           doPost request  response       And Voila
