Servlet -: Error running from WAR file

[staneja]

I ahve created a directory Structure
Sumit -> WEB-INF -> src
-> classes

and i putted Servlet file in src , compiled class file in classes folder and created Web.xml file in WEB-INF folder

after that i craeted a war file ( I am not sure it should be inside WEB-INF or outside ) as see.war using

jar -cvf see.was *.*

then i copied it to Webapps folder of tomcat where it deployed it

Now the thing is something when i am running it using

http://localhost:8080/see/

then it thowing error message
HTTP Status 404 - /see/

message /see/
description The requested resource (/see/) is not available.

Did you add the servlet and servlet mapping entries to your web.xml? Example:

<servlet>
  <servlet-name>myServlet</servlet-name>
  <servlet-class>servlet.myServlet</servlet-class>
  <init-param>
    <param-name>load-on-startup</param-name>
    <param-value>0</param-value>
  </init-param>
</servlet>

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

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app version="2.4" >

<servlet-name>hello</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>servlet1</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>hello</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/hello</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

</web-app>
