javac problem

[keegank]

Hi everyone, I am still trying to re-configure the application that got screwed by this virus.

Now I know this will probably seem like a stupid question - whenerever I try to javac any of my servlets I get the following error

doLogin.java:5: package javax.servlet does not exist
import javax.servlet.*;
^
doLogin.java:6: package javax.servlet.http does not exist
import javax.servlet.http.*;
^
doLogin.java:13: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : class HttpServlet
location: class doLogin
public class doLogin extends HttpServlet




Can anyone recognise I have done wrong?

Thank you.

Andy

Not an stupid at all...
add this to your classpath variable..

<install-dir>/Tomcat 4.1/common/lib/servlet.jar
where <instal-dir> is the parrent drive/directory of tomcat..

hope that helps...
