javac: package foo does not exist.

[manarth]

The offending file:

package com.foo.bar;

[red]import com.foo.bar.db.ConnectionManager;[/red]
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.util.Properties;


public class initialise extends HttpServlet {
	[red]private static ConnectionManager cm;[/red]

    public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException {
        super.init(config);

        Properties props = new Properties();

        props = System.getProperties();
        props.setProperty("dbPropertiesFile", config.getServletContext().getRealPath(config.getInitParameter("db")));
        System.setProperties(props);
		[red]cm = new ConnectionManager();[/red]
    }
}

Compiling using javac on windows.

The package structure is as follows:[tt]
D:\blah\myWebApp\
\WEB-INF\
\classes\
\com\
\foo\
\bar\
\initialise.java
\db\
\ConnectionManager.class
\ConnectionManager.java
[/tt]

I have tried setting the classpath to the classes directory (javac -cp D:\blah\myWebApp\WEB-INF\classes). I have checked the case matches between the import statement and the ConnectionManager class.
All standard classes import successfully, as do additional classes from jars placed in the jre lib directory.

Any other ideas, before I go crazy?!

Nevermind, after literally hours of trying all sorts of things, it mysteriously started compiling.

I believe I must have been - consistently - mistyping the classpath. Anyway, all's well that ends well!
