Issues configuring web.xml mapping - servlets

Question

I have just picked up web development and I cannot for the life of me figure out what I'm doing wrong when mapping the SimpleServlet in web.xml
these are my files:
My web.xml is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd"
version="3.0">
<display-name>JavaHelloWorldApp</display-name>
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>
<welcome-file>index.htm</welcome-file>
<welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
<welcome-file>default.html</welcome-file>
<welcome-file>default.htm</welcome-file>
<welcome-file>default.jsp</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>SimpleServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>wasdev.sample.servlet.SimpleServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>SimpleServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/SimpleServlet</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
Simple Servlet
package wasdev.sample.servlet;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.annotation.WebServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
/**
* Servlet implementation class SimpleServlet
*/
#WebServlet("/SimpleServlet")
public class SimpleServlet extends HttpServlet {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
/**
* #see HttpServlet#doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
*/
#Override
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
response.setContentType("text/html");
response.getWriter().print("Hello World!");
}
}
I am simply trying to get a local host running and access the JavaHelloWorldApp/SimpleServlet
