This is my program TimeCheck.java i am developing using NetBeans IDE 6.8
When i run it gives me following error:
Class "TimeCheck" neither has a main method nor it is a servletspecified in web.xml
I didnt find anything specifying Servlet to add so added it here.

following is my TimeCheck.java code:

import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;

/**

 * @author Vinken
 */

public class TimeCheck extends HttpServlet {

    /** 
     * Processes requests for both HTTP <code>GET</code> and <code>POST</code> methods.
     * @param request servlet request
     * @param response servlet response
     * @throws ServletException if a servlet-specific error occurs
     * @throws IOException if an I/O error occurs
     */
    protected void processRequest(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
    throws ServletException, IOException {
        response.setContentType("text/html;charset=UTF-8");
        PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
        try {

            out.println("<html>");
            out.println("<head>");
            out.println("<title>Servlet TimeCheck</title>");  
            out.println("</head>");
            out.println("<body>");
            out.println("<h1>Servlet TimeCheck at " + request.getContextPath () + "</h1>");
            out.println("Time is : ");
            out.println("</body>");
            out.println("</html>");

        } finally { 
            out.close();
        }
    } 

    // <editor-fold defaultstate="collapsed" desc="HttpServlet methods. Click on the + sign on the left to edit the code.">
    /** 
     * Handles the HTTP <code>GET</code> method.
     * @param request servlet request

     */
    @Override
    protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
    throws ServletException, IOException {
        processRequest(request, response);
    } 

    /**

     */
    @Override
    protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
    throws ServletException, IOException {
        processRequest(request, response);
    }

    /** 
     * Returns a short description of the servlet.
     * @return a String containing servlet description
     */
    @Override
    public String getServletInfo() {
        return "Short description";
    }// </editor-fold>

}

This is the web.xml code where may be the error but i don't know what to add to solve this error
Following is in web.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app version="3.0" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd">
    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>TimeCheck</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>TimeCheck</servlet-class>
    </servlet>
    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>TimeCheck</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/TimeCheck</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
    <session-config>
        <session-timeout>
            30
        </session-timeout>
    </session-config>
</web-app>

Is there anyone who can help me with this?
I am new to this & dont know what to do when such kind of error occurs.
It never occured with my friend or in college where i study so just need help to solve this.

Did you use NetBeans wizard to setup project or you manually set it up? What server you use? (Tomcat, GlassFish, Jetty,JBoss)

i used glassfish v3.0 server

@WebServlet (name="name of servlet",urlPatterns={"/url patter of servlet"})

paste this above your class, if u r using netbeans it should be given by default.

thnx got it
but i am using Netbeans IDE & it wasn't given bydefault
