Installing JavaServer Web Development Kit

[rcusr]

I'm having trouble getting j2sdkee1.3.1 to work. I've downloaded and run the install for j2sdkee1.3.1.

I then set the environment vars as follows:
J2EE_HOME=C:\j2sdkee1.3.1
JAVA_HOME=C:\j2sdk1.4.1_02

and added the path:
C:\j2sdkee1.3.1\bin

But when I ran a test serverlet I got an error (listed below). Have I put the paths for the variables in wrong?

Heres the error:

C:\Documents and Settings\rcooper\My Documents\java\practise>javac ExampServlet.

I think you might have to include C:\j2sdkee1.3.1\lib\j2ee.jar as an environment variable

so you could do
javac ExampServlet -classpath c:\j2sdkee1.3.1\lib\j2ee.jar

I tried what you suggested but I received this error:

C:\Documents and Settings\rcooper\My Documents\java\practise>javac ExampServlet
-classpath c:\j2sdkee1.3.1\lib\j2ee.jar
javac: invalid flag: ExampServlet
Usage: javac <options> <source files>

I then added the path c:\j2sdkee1.3.1\lib\ in my environment variables... but I still received my first error when I attempted to compile?

On another forum it was suggested that I may need the servlet.jar file but I'm not sure where to put it or where to get it from.... do you know anything about this?

I'm really sorry I think you have to do javac ExampServlet.java -classpath c:\j2sdkee1.3.1\lib\j2ee.jar
I missed the .java bit out.....sorry
You could just do a search for the servlet.jar and then add it to your classpath as well, I don't need to add it to the classpath when I'm compiling but I may have some other environment variables set. I have a copy of servlet.jar in the Java web services developer pack from sun and that is on my classpath but I think all the servlet classes are part of the j2ee.jar?? So I don't think you need the servlet.jar unless you don't have the full j2sdkee package??

Thanks but I managed to get it sorted out... I didn't have the file servlet.jar, but I was recommended to download tomcat (apache server) which had the file I needed in.

Thanks anyway,
