Servlet XML Configuration
Step 1: Create a simple class and extend it with httpservlet and create doGet method:
package com.gs.controller;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
public class XmlServlet extends HttpServlet {
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException {
System.out.println("Hello from Get method of XML servlet");
}
}

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_1.xsd"
id="WebApp_ID" version="3.1">
<display-name>SimpleServletProject</display-name>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>xmlServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.gs.controller.XmlServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>xmlServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/xmlservletpath</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
