import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
public class WeatherServlet extends HttpServlet {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
WeatherServlet(){
}
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
System.out.println("again");
response.setContentType("text/html");
PrintWriter out=response.getWriter();
out.println("akshay rahar");
}
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {

Here is web.xml file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE xml>
<web-app version="2.4" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"

Here is index.html file too:-

var autocomplete = new google.maps.places.Autocomplete(input);
}
</script>

</head>
<body>
<h1>Find weather of any city in the world</h1>
<h2>Enter City Name</h2>
<form id="form" action="CurrentWeather" method="GET">
<input id="pac-input" type="text" name="cityname">
</form><br>
<div class="button1">
<button type="submit" form="form" value="Submit">Submit</button>
</div>
</body>
</html>
I've also mentioned stylesheet.css file in comment. Please check it.
Solution
The error shows that Tomcat is unable to create an instance of your WeatherServlet class.
You should make its constructor and other methods public too. You can even make use of the default constructor by removing the less accessible constructor:
public class WeatherServlet extends HttpServlet {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
public WeatherServlet(){
}
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
System.out.println("again");
response.setContentType("text/html");
PrintWriter out=response.getWriter();
out.println("akshay rahar");
}
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
}
}
