I have downloaded and installed Jakarta Tomcat 4.0 Beta 6. My Operating system is Windows 98 and I also have JDK1.3. I have made a change in CLASSPATH. Now my CLASSPATH variable looks like this:
CLASSPATH=.;C:\JDK1.3\lib\tools.jar
I have a servlet program, when I try compile it usig command "javac HelloServlet.java" I get 8 errors indicating it is unable to find javax.servlet.* classes.
How can I configure my Tomcat and JDK1.3 so as to compile the servlet program.
Is there any perticular way to compile and run the program.
Please help.
Gautam.

Gautham,
You need to have the servlet class files in your classpath.
Copy servlet.jar from jakarta\lib and paste it under
jdk1.3\jre\lib\ext and compile your program again.
(i did this for tomcat3.2.2 i'm not sure whether or not it works for tomcat 4.0,guess should be same)

hello gautam
to simply compile servlets servlet.jar is needed which contains required javax package files so if u r using tomcat web server so use its servlet.jar for compilation u find this in lib folder so write classpath:
tomcat\lib\servlet.jar
thanks
saurabh

Hello Saurabh,
I have already changed my classpath in autoexec.bat, now it is
SET CLASSPATH=.;C:\JDK1.3\lib\tools.jar;C:\JAKART~1\common\lib\servlet.jar
But without copying the servlet.jar file to the c:\jdk1.3\jre\lib\ext directory the program is not compiling. Do you know the reason?
Anyway thanks for the help.
Gautam.
