how to access tomcat servlet in maven project structure with embeddable tomcat -

i'm using embeddable tomcat in maven project structure
(like here: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/create-a-java-web-application-using-embedded-tomcat)
but im not deploying heroku.
can access index.jsp (even before adding web.xml) @ localhost:8080/
can't workout how access servlet (keep getting 404, before adding web.xml).
tried @ localhost:8080/archery
tried @ localhost:8080/servlets/servlet.archeryshootservlet
tried @ localhost:8080/servlet/servlet.archeryshootservlet
tried @ localhost:8080/servlet.archeryshootservlet
tried @ localhost:8080/target/archery
tried @ localhost:8080/target/archeryshootservlet
tried @ localhost:8080/target/servlet.archeryshootservlet

i've tried putting them resources folder part of project.

i've tried adding webresources folder, , adding
pom file configuration:

}

your application context path /archery (defined in context.xml)

your servlet path /archery (urlpatterns property of @webservlet) it's duplicated web.xml

so, url should localhost:8080/archery/archery

first server[:port], followed context path, followed servlet path

anyway, have fix project structure in order work. if following maven conventions web resources directory should src/main/webapp web.xml (and context.xml) should put under web-inf directory under directory.

after have packaged war, make sure these files there (under web-inf)
