Solved: Servlet is calling the wrong class

I have attached my project, my problem is my project is calling my servlet from the wrong path, Project/html/AddData, for example this however is wrong.

I was intially calling my servlet in the default package without a web.xml file, the form gave the address /Project/servlet/AddData. This worked.

I then changed it to the package to com.project.controller, it then stopped working. I assumed this was due to the lack of a deployment descriptor "web.xml" file. I added this file, changed the form address to "AddData". This still isnt working, I am missing a step or have I made a mistake somewhere. I attached the relevant files

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Registration Form</TITLE>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/Project/html/Style.css"/>
</HEAD>
 
<BODY>

<FORM METHOD="POST" 
   ACTION="AddData" 
   name="myform"> 

<H3>Choose and Insert GPSData:</H3>
 

<SELECT NAME = "gpsdata">
