You really need to look at the structure of the other webapps. For instance, look at the "examples" webapp that comes with Tomcat. Notice that it has a WEB-INF directory with "classes" and "lib" directories underneath. That is where servlets go. Also, the web.xml file goes in WEB-INF. *.jsp files do not go inside the WEB-INF directory. They go in the same places as .html files go.
You should make sure you study existing examples to find patterns on how things are set up. You should also get a servlet book. I'm sure the first chapter would answer most of these questions.
