Ensure You download the jar javax.servlet-api-3.0.1.jar from the link http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/javax.servlet/javax.servlet-api/3.0.1

By the screenshot it looks like you are importing servlet spec v2.5. The servlet annotations were added in servlet spec 3.0

http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/6/api/javax/servlet/annotation/package-summary.html

You will want to get the jar for a newer version then what you are currently using

Here is a chart showing the Tomcat version and the servlet spec it supports http://tomcat.apache.org/whichversion.html

annotation is not in javax.servlet package. It is under java.lang.annotation.*

Please refer below link.. http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/javaOO/annotations.html
