conan,
when i installed the j2ee thing, the api was also written in one of its subfolders....'
doc' i believe
also as the book said, we must use j2ee 1.3
i went thru hell today figuring out these paths and classpaths...but reward is great, i finally had my Advice run!!
if it helps anyone, i used javax from inside j2ee.jar, and that classpath ideally include all jars and libs that are needed for compiling.........other have to specify inline -classpath
