Newb needs help

[msloan]

Ok have just started using Ant (1 day) and am trying to compile a simple (I thought) servlet. I have my build file and when I execute ant from the command line, the compile fails, saying my package (that I am importing) does not exist.

I am assuming that I need to reference the library in the <javac> line of my build file, but I am not exactly sure how to do this.

Thanks in advance.

You can use <path> to define class path. Example:

<property name=&quot;lib&quot; location=&quot;webapp/WEB-INF/lib&quot;/>
<property name=&quot;classes&quot; location=&quot;webapp/WEB-INF/classes&quot;/>

<path id=&quot;classpath&quot;>
   <fileset dir=&quot;${lib}&quot;>
      <include name=&quot;**/*.jar&quot;/>
   </fileset>
</path>

<target name=&quot;compile&quot; description=&quot;compile the source &quot;>
   <javac srcdir=&quot;${src}&quot; destdir=&quot;${classes}&quot; classpathref=&quot;classpath&quot;/>
</target>
