Java Compiler

I am trying to learn Jakarta Tomcat to do some JSP programming. I have downloaded the JKD 1.4 and Tomcat 4.2 to do this JSP, i have installed all the software and my Tomcat server is working, my JSP example scripts work.

But when i go to compiler one of my .java documents to get the .class file it doesnt want to work. Here is what i am doing. And the errors that I got. What can i do to fix this.


D:\j2sdk1.4.1_03\bin>javac HelloServlet.java
HelloServlet.java:2: package javax.servlet does not exist
import javax.servlet.*;

Thanks to all that reply

I have also double checked to make sure that my classpath is pointing to the servlet.jar file, but for some reason it doesnt want to work.

I have even gone so far as to unzip the jar file onto my harddrive. Now there is a physical copy of the .jar file in my D:\javax folder.

Please help me fix this.

I think you need to add servlet.jar to your classpath for when you compile. Have you done that?

Yes, my servlet.jar is in my classpath, i made sure. Also I check in my dos prompt by typeing the set command and in the classpath it is pointing to the the jar file.

I even unzipped the jar file onto my harddrive and it compiler once but that was it.

Thanks for the help

Well for some reason it works now, so dont worry about this. I just deleted the classpath and then retyped it and it works fine now.
