              <td colspan="2"> Already registered !!<a href="Login.jsp">Login here</a></td>
        </tr>
  </form>
</body>
</html>

this is my servlet

public class RegistrationServlet extends HttpServlet {
 
 public RegistrationServlet()
 {
 }
 
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request,HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException
{
 
 String firstName=request.getParameter("firstName");
 String lastName=request.getParameter("lastName");
 String email=request.getParameter("email");
 String userName=request.getParameter("userName");
 String password=request.getParameter("password");
 
 RegistrationBean registrationBean =new RegistrationBean();
 registrationBean.setFirstName(firstName);
 registrationBean.setLastName(lastName);
 registrationBean.setEmail(email);
 registrationBean.setUserName(userName);
 registrationBean.setPassword(password);
}
}

This is the web.xml

  <display-name>MVC</display-name>
 <welcome-file-list>
 <welcome-file>Login.jsp</welcome-file>
  </welcome-file-list>
 <servlet>
  <description></description>
  <display-name>LoginServlet</display-name>
  <servlet-name>LoginServlet</servlet-name>
  <servlet-class>com.mvc.controller.LoginServlet</servlet-class>
 </servlet>
  <servlet>
  <description>Registraion page</description>
  <display-name>RegistrationServlet</display-name>
  <servlet-name>RegistrationServlet</servlet-name>
  <servlet-class>com.mvc.controller.RegistrationServlet</servlet-class>
 </servlet>
  <servlet-mapping>
  <servlet-name>LoginServlet</servlet-name>
  <url-pattern>/LoginServlet</url-pattern>
 </servlet-mapping>
 
 <servlet-mapping>
  <servlet-name>RegistrationServlet</servlet-name>
  <url-pattern>/RegistrationServlet</url-pattern>
 </servlet-mapping>

Your HTML code looks weird. Look [Fiddle](http://jsfiddle.net/6pg8us3y/) for correction. When do you got this exception? Either while moving from login to registration or submitting your registration page.
