[SOLVED] 404 error when redirecting to Servlet from a html page

So I'm trying to create a WebApp on InteliJ Ultimate about a telecom website and I wanna get familiar with servlets but i can't get them to work properly

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Login Page</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h2>Login Form</h2>
    <form action="LoginServ" method="post">
        <label for="username">Username:</label><br>
        <input type="text" id="username" name="username"><br>
        <label for="password">Password:</label><br>
        <input type="password" id="password" name="password"><br>
        <input type="submit" value="Submit">
    </form>
</body>
</html>

this is my index.html (basic login page) that im trying to redirect to the login servlet to then show 1 of 3 different dashboards (clientDashboard, salesmanDashboard and adminDashboard) depending on a value inserted in a MySQL database

I've tried following different tutorials on how to use servlets couldn't get anything to work and now I'm just at a point where I just don't know what to do anymore

Edit 1: I keep getting Error 404 Not found when I redirect from the html page to the servlet which seems odd to me seeing as how I have the servlet file LoginServ.java in the directory along with this line of code in the index file <form action="LoginServ" method="post"> which I am pretty sure searches for a file with that name (don't quote me on that I'm still new to web dev)

At this points im just trying to get the redirect to work at all

package servlets;

import jakarta.servlet.RequestDispatcher;
import jakarta.servlet.ServletException;
import jakarta.servlet.annotation.WebServlet;
import jakarta.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import jakarta.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import jakarta.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import java.io.IOException;

@WebServlet("/LoginServlet")
public class LoginServlet extends HttpServlet {
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

    protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request,
                          HttpServletResponse response)
            throws ServletException, IOException {
        response.sendRedirect(request.getContextPath() + "/salesmanDashboard.jsp");
    }
}

I'm using Apache Tomcat 10.1.24 When i was creating the project i selected "Jakarta EE" as the Project Generator with Maven as the build sustem, also im using Oracle OpenJDK 22.0.1

My directory looks like this:

Project1
-src
  -main 
    -java
      -servlets
        - LoginServlet
  -resources
    - META-INF
      - index.html
  -webapp
    - WEB-INF
      - salesmanDashboard.jsp

Edit 2: The problem looks to be that the servlet mapping i had written in the web.xml file interfered with the @WebServlet("/LoginServlet") that was in the Servlet i was trying to run. I don't understand why but it did and removing the

<servlet>
    <description/>
    <display-name>LoginServlet</display-name>
    <servlet-name>LoginServlet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>servlets.LoginServlet</servlet-class>
  </servlet>
  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>LoginServlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/LoginServlet</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>

From the web.xml file seemed to fix it
