Compiling Servlets

[LuckyKoen]

I downloaded J2EE and it supports servlets, but when I try to compile my servlet the compiler still can't find the servlet classes. I have the following 2 imports on the top of my servlet that are unknown to the compiler :

import java.servlet.*;
import java.servlet.http.*;

How should I get my servlet to work ?

you need to pass the location of the servlet-api.jar to javac using the -classpath option

eg
javac -classpath /opt/tomcat/common/lib/servlet-api.jar myprogram.java
