How to configure custom servlet in magnolia CMS

I am trying to do registration example in magnolia. I have a registration form, on submission of form control should be transferred to my own written servlet.

snippet for form :

   <body>
        <form action="./register" method="post">
            Name:<input type="text" name="name"><br />
             Email Id:<input type="text" name="email"><br/>
             <input type="submit"   value="Register">
        </form>
    </body>

Registration servlet class:

public class Registration extends HttpServlet {

    /**
     * 
     */
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

    @Override
    public void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp)
            throws ServletException, IOException {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        System.out.println("This is registration servlet");
    }

}

I have configured module descriptor :

<servlets>
  <servlet>
    <name>RegistrationServlet</name>
    <class>com.rbt.registration.Registration</class>
    <comment>registration servlet</comment>
    <mappings>
      <mapping>/register</mapping>
    </mappings>
  </servlet>
</servlets>

and I have also configured template definition. But when I click on submit button. It shows error that resource not found. Please help me.

The mapping you configured in the module descriptor will be relative to your context path. E.g. if your base url is http://example.com:8080/public ('public' being your context path), then your servlet will responding to http://example.com:8080/public/register.

Check if that url matches the url your form is submitting to. The action="./register" is a relative path and will depend on the path of the page that contains the form.

In your template, when writing html for the form you can also use action="${ctx.contextPath}/register" to have form response directed to uri on which servlet is listening. Also please go to config:/server/filters/servlets/ and verify that RegistrationServlet is correctly add there. Same problem (although for different servlet) was also discussed at Magnolia Forum
