Here is a servlet definition from my web.xml file:

    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>
            Login
        </servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>
            com.beeslender.servlets.LoginServlet
        </servlet-class>
        <servlet-mapping>
            <servlet-name>
                Login
            </servlet-name>
            <url-pattern>
                /Login
            </url-pattern>
        </servlet-mapping>
    </servlet>

Notice that <servlet-mapping> is a child of <servlet>.
Also, did you create your servlets as part of a
package? If so, you need a directory structure under
$TOMCAT_HOME/sampleapp/WEB-INF/classes that matches
your package. For example, 

$TOMCAT_HOME/sampleapp/WEB-INF/classes/com/beeslender/servlets

That's where the *.class files would go.
