Not necessarily true: the easiest thing is to create your webapp under
tomcat's webapps directory.

Which one is it, WEBINF or WEB-INF? It should have a hyphen.

><servlet-mapping>
> <servlet-name>HelloServlet</servlet-name>
> <url-pattern>sampleapp</url-pattern>
></servlet-mapping>

Then you can access the servlet as
http://yourhost:yourport/sampleapp/Hello.
