This is perfectly allright and the way Debian splits files. The servlet
api got installed via the package "libservlet2.4-java" and the tomcat
installation itself symlinks to the installed servlet api.
So it is not necessary to copy the archive servlet-api.jar to any other
place.

There is something wrong either in your tomcat configuration or the
deployment of your example application.
Which steps did you do to install and configure tomcat and how did you
deploy the example application?
Finally you should check the tomcat logfiles whether they contain error
messages.
