Help cant find javax.servlet.*

[awolff01]

I just installed tomcat and J2SDK 1.4.2.

I tried running a simple Hello World servlet using the packages

javax.servlet.*
javax.servlet.http


I its giving me compile errors. I searched my system and it looks like those packages are installed on my Linux machine.


How do I get these basic packages installed? WHere can I get them from?

Thanks.

The jar they are contained in should be in TOMCAT_HOME/common/lib (depending on you tomcat version) in a file named servlet.jar.

Go to TOMCAT_HOME and do a "find . -type f |grep servlet |grep jar"

Then you need to add the file to your CLASSPATH variable :

export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:$TOMCAT_HOME/common/lib/servlet.jar
