Your method needs to be called

public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException { ... }

in order to be recognized - the uppercase letters make it fail.

It is called doGet, not doGET.

The @Override annotation would have told you that.
