use "/servlet/HelloClientServlet" whith a precedind "/".

To pass parameters:
If you use a <FORM >, parameters are the <INPUT > tag embeded into the form.
<INPUT TYPE=text NAME=para1 VALUE=value1>    // pass argument
<INPUT TYPE=text NAME=para2 VALUE=value2>
</form>

You pass parameters in the URL with a "?" separating the URL from the
parameter list and each parameter separated from the preceding by a "&".
It works for every URLs in your HTML file, be it a <A HREF > URL or a <FORM
> URL.

Exemple:
<FORM ACTION=/servlet/HelloClientServlet?param1=value1&param2=value2"
METHOD=POST>

<A HREF="/servlet/HelloClientServlet?param1=value1&param2=value2">Hello</A>
