Problems with Java and Servlet Mapping

I've mapped my servlet in this way in the web.xml:

<servlet>
    <servlet-name>home</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>servlet.HomeServlet</servlet-class>
 </servlet>
 <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>home</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/HomeServlet</url-pattern>
 </servlet-mapping>

And I'm trying to call this: 

<a href="/HomeServlet" class="brand"><img alt="logo" src="img/Logo2.png"></a>

But when I click on the link I get this error

HTTP Status 404 - /HomeServlet

type Status report

message /HomeServlet

description The requested resource (/HomeServlet) is not available.

What is wrong?

You need to add the name of your context before /HomeServlet. If you're using JSP, you can solve this using ${pageContext.request.contextPath}:

<a href="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/HomeServlet" class="brand"><img alt="logo" src="img/Logo2.png"></a>
