Servlet Package Error

[Bygbobbo]

I just upgraded to XP and loaded 1.4 on my system. I can compile applets and stand alone apps just fine, but when I try to compile Servlets I get a javax package missing error. My class path is correct and src file is correct. I have added the servlet jar file to the class path also..

anyone have any suggestions

I have the same problem and finding help is like next to impossible. It's like a big guessing game

did you look through the jar to see if your imported classes are actually there?

 

[Bygbobbo]

I looked through a bunch of them starting with servlets.jar and rt.jar and tools.jar.. Everything was there physically..

 

[daniel135]

and the jar is in the classpath, not just the directory where the jar is found?

 

[Bygbobbo]

yes, I put all of them in the classpath..

 

[daniel135]

ok, this sounds weird... so please post the src, classpath and error message

On my old OS (4.0 NT) this servlet compiled fine...

%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\BINN;C:\j2sdk1.4.0\bin;%path%; C:\j2sdkee1.3.1\bin\j2ee.jar;C:\j2sdkee1.3.1\lib\j2eetools.jar;C:\j2sdk1.4.0\jre\lib\rt.jar
