If you are starting out using java I could advice you to use netbeans IDE

http://www.netbeans.org/ide/download.html

For your problem: depending on the OS (I use windows) I add the value "C:\jdk1.3.1_07\bin" to the PATH value in the environment variables so in a dos box the javac and java can be found.
If you are running win2000 you can choose start -> run -> cmd and type javac. If your path is set correctly then you should get a reaction from the javac.exe (explanation on how you should use it).
The classpath can be provided as a parameter used in the javac command, like when you use jaws.jar you can add it in your classpath when you compile your .java file:
javac - classpath c:\....\jaws.jar myclass.java
or:
javac - classpath c:\....\jaws.jar *.java

I have seen your other post, should advice you to REALLY download the netbeans IDE .
It will start the webserver for you and has templates for creating all kinds of java projects (including servlets, applets, beans...).
