Hi,
I am having problems with compiling Servlet version two code in HFSJ(page-85)
I have kept model class at-> D:\MyProjects\beerV1\src\com\example\model\BeerExpert.java

Servlet at-> D:\MyProjects\beerV1\src\com\example\web\BeerSelect.java

servlet-api at->C:\Tomcat\apache-tomcat-5.5.23\common\lib\servlet-api.jar
Now I am trying to compile using:
javac -classpath "C:\Tomcat\apache-tomcat-5.5.23\common\lib\servlet-api.jar;". -d classes -sourcepath src/com/examples/web/BeerSelect.java

It is not getting compiled giving the following error:

javac: no source files
Usage: javac <options> <source files>
use -help for a list of possible options

This problem was being faced by marten(https://coderanch.com/t/407370/java/java/Problems-compiling-packages-JSP) & he got it resolved,but unfortunately I am still stuck with it
Please help me.

I've never used -sourcepath, but I think that it takes a directory as parameter, not a file name. So instead of

... -sourcepath src/com/examples/web/BeerSelect.java

try:

... -sourcepath src/com/examples/web BeerSelect.java

or leave it out completely and just specify the file name:

... src/com/examples/web/BeerSelect.java

Hi Veeru,


Nice to see that are still people which are compile from the command like (like in the good old times ) - your problem is the "-sourcepath src/com/examples/web/BeerSelect.java", you must specify the file to compile so remove the sourcepath and provde only the file to compile.

My advice is to use a IDE to compile or if you are a command line freak you can use a ant script to make your like easy.

Regards,
M

Thanks!
I tried with both
-sourcepath src/com/examples/web BeerSelect.java
as well as by removing the sourcepath altogether
src/com/examples/web/BeerSelect.java
But still facing the same error
Please help.
