Tomcat 6.0 - Error 404 requested resource not avaliable

I'm developing a Servlet using Tomcat Servlet Engine(version 6.0)

I'm a completely newbie about this stuff, so I'm reading some stuff on the net. Now I create my servlet folder under:

/var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/ROOT/myapp

under this I create WEB-INF folder and classes one. So I have this hierarchy:

/var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/ROOT/myapp/WEB-INF/classes

I'm trying to execute this simple servlet:

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

public class TestServlet extends HttpServlet{

    public void doGe(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
    throws IOException {
        PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
        out.println("<html>");
        out.println("<body>");
        out.println("<h1>Hello Servlet!</h1>");
        out.println("</body>");
        out.println("</html>"); 
    }
}

after compiling I put .class file, of course under classes directory, and then I created web.xml file under WEB-INF directory, here't the content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

        <servlet-name>TestServlet</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/test</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

Then I simply go to:

   http://localhost:8080/myapp/test

but i get 404 error.

What can I do? Thanks in advance

You need not move the Web Application project under Root folder. Keep it as : 

/var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/myapp

Also, make a correction for method signature its doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) {}

public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
    throws IOException {
        PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
        out.println("<html>");
        out.println("<body>");
        out.println("<h1>Hello Servlet!</h1>");
        out.println("</body>");
        out.println("</html>"); 
    }

That's all, it should work now!

Move the folder from ROOT to webapp, folder structure should be

/var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/myapp
