Servelet

[youngun]

I am in a Unix Enviornment and have Tomcat installed as the server, and I also downloaded servlet classfiles from java.sun.com, when I unzip the classfiles, and it creates a directory "Javax" and inside "Javax", it is directory "servlet" with all the .class files inside. However, when I try to write a program and do the following:
import javax.servlet.*;
compiler error says that the package is not provided. Am I doing something wrong?

and How do I make sure that the Java virtual machine supports the Java platform servlet specification.

Thank you very much for your time,

you need to change your classpath to see the jar files.

in bash:
%> export CLASSPATH=.:<path_to_jakarta>/lib/webserver.jar
%> export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:<path_to_jakarta>/lib/servlet.jar

and so on. You need to add each jar file to the classpath. I did this in my /etc/profile, as always, ymmv. leo
