How do I redirect a servlet to a static html page?

Question

I am using Tomcat 6 on an Apache server and have an app in webapps called support that is working correctly. There are two urls that are used in calling pages called register and activate. They are both accessed by www.oururl.com/support/activate and the same scenario for register. We would like to have the register to go to a static page at www.oururl.com/staticphppage.php. I have tried all sorts of options for the past 4 days and can not get this to work. I am rather new at java so this has been a huge learning curve. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

I have tried to map another servlet in web.xml but it never comes thru to work and always gives a 404 error.

I am sure I am way off on this even after looking at lots of example code and trying to morph it to what we need. All we really want is to keep everything in place as far as url access on the web and redirect the support/register to a static page. I also tried to do this right in Tomcat with by editing the server file with the redirect and could not. Thanks for any and all help it is very much appreciated.

This is my current web.xml with the new servlet added called page
