javax.servlet.ServletException: Error instantiating servlet class servlet.DeleteData

I have this servlet DeleteData.java

package sevenet;

import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.annotation.WebServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.*;
import java.sql.*;

@WebServlet("/deleteData")
public class DeleteData extends HttpServlet {

    protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
        // Some code.
    }
}

Which is registered as below in web.xml

<servlet>
    <servlet-name>DeleteData</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>servlet.DeleteData</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>DeleteData</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/DeleteData</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

I got error when starting the webapp:

javax.servlet.ServletException: Error instantiating servlet class servlet.DeleteData

    org.apache.tomcat.util.threads.TaskThread$WrappingRunnable.run(TaskThread.java:61)

How is this caused and how can I solve it?

There is typo in package name package sevenet; in DeleteData.java

Either correct package name in DeleteData.java or update the package name in web.xml like this:

<servlet>
    <servlet-name>DeleteData</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>sevenet.DeleteData</servlet-class>
</servlet>
