Hi all,

I am currently studying for SCWCD and tried to compile the example on page 176 (the listener test).

I created the java files and first compiled the Dog.java file with



Works fine, Dog.class was created in classes/com/example.

Now I tried to compile src/com/example/MyServletContextListener.java out of the WEB-INF directory with



and I get the following error:



Don't know why Dog class is not found, it is in the same directory.
I think I am just missing sth but I cannot figure out what?

Any ideas?

Thank you!

Hi Patrick,

You need to add the classes directory to the -classpath on the javac command line, otherwise the compiler won't find Dogs.class when compiling MyServletContextListener.java.

Cheers,

Thanks for your help, I tried to concatenate the path to the Dog.class to the classpath, seperated with a semicolon.



The following result:


Well, I do have sufficient access rights.

But then I tried to compile a bunch of java files with "javac ... *java" and now it works.

All 3 files have been compiled and moved to the classes dir.

Don't know what the reason was, but now it works

But thanks for your help!
