I set up my classpath like
C:\j2sdkee1.3.1\lib\j2ee.jar;C:\j2sdkee1.3.1\lib\classes;C:\jdk1.3.1_02\bin; C:\j2sdkee1.3.1\bin;c:\j2sdkee1.3.1\lib\locale

First of all, the bin directories should be in the path, not classpath. Only classes go in the classpath. Also, you do not need the lib\classes in the classpath. You just need the jar files. Anyway, this probably doesn't matter in this case since your system is able to find javac. I would still clean this up anyway though. Try this after cleaning up the mess: Type set classpath from the command line and see if the j2ee.jar is there and verify that the path is correct. If it's there and it points to the correct file, then it will work. Hope this helps!

you should verifythat the jar files you are ussing in your classpath
in this case "C:\j2sdkee1.3.1\lib\j2ee.jar" contain the Package you are trying to import..
use winzip to see the contents of the Jar file ..
as it were a simple zip file ..

if you don't find the javax.servlet. package
just include the Jar that has it..

Alternatively, you can use jar -tvf jarFileName.jar | more
