Which version of Tomcat? Have you done any configuration of Tomcat - for example in web.xml? Have you looked at the Tomcat logs? If this was my problem I would put System.out print statements in the init method - to make sure the servlet was even getting loaded, and in the doPost to see if the request is getting through.
