First, your question would fit better in the Eclipse web tools platform
forum. (That's for next time.)
Second, here's an old, but still working tutorial, exhaustive in its
explanations that you might find useful. It was written before
annotations (like @WebServlet) were introduced, but you might be able to
make use of it.

You can find many other, usually shorter tutorials, best are the ones at
http://www.vogella.de.
Best of luck.
