Answer 1

You kept it in wrong directory, it should go under

src/main/java

not in

src/main/resource

Maven takes into compilati

Update

when I add it to /src/main/java eclipse cannot import HttpServlet class.

It is because you don’t have servlet-api in yoru classpath

add dependency to your POM, replace ${servlet-api-version} with the appropriate version matching your app environment

dependency>
    <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
    <artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
    <version>${servlet-api-version}</version>
</dependency>
