Unusual Compile Error

[Terwin]

Wise Folks,

I have an unusual compile error with my servlet.

I import java.util.* to make use of the HashMap class. The compile error arises when I attempt to declare and instantiate a HashMap. The compiler reports that it cannot find (mypackagename).HashMap. I'm unsure as to why it's looking for the HashMap class in my package rather than finding it in java.util where it lives.

When I attempt to import directly java.util.HashMap the compiler returns an error with the import.

I'm assuming this is a path issue. If so, I'd greatly appreciate any suggestions as to how I might go about investigating and/or fixing it.

Thanks,
Terwin

is the java.util jar in the classpath?

(make sure the jar is in the cp, not just the directory where the jar resides)

Aha.

classes.zip, which comes with CodeWarrior is evidently a holdover from older java versions (1.1). The blackest of curses upon classes.zip, which was now scrapped in favor of rt.jar, which does support the HashMap class.

Thanks,
Terwin
