Answer 1

Your servlet name in definition is HelloWorld
but in mapping servlet, is hello.
These names must be the same.

Answer 2

<servlet>
<servlet-name>HelloWorld</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>hello</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.ap</url-pattern> <!-- this same extension should bbe used in form action -->
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
here you have used HelloWorld as the servlet name previously and you referring to that as hello later on which is not correct so please correct that just change the hello in servelt-mapping to HelloWorld and access the servlet as HelloWorld.ap it will work.
