Hi,
Can anybody tell me how to import a jar file into a servlet??
Thanx in advance...

set CLASSPATH=path_to_jar_file
In the servlet import the necessary classes using import statment

[Chad McGowan]

I would recommend putting the jar under WEB-INF/lib directory and then referencing the classes from you servlet import statements.

[Andres Gonzalez]

In addition, all classes that you place under the WEB-INF/classes directory are automatically added to your classpath
the same happens when you add jar files to your WEB-INF/lib directory.

Hi Ann
As explained before you can keep your jar file in WEB-INF\lib folder and import the required class in your file.

hi,
doGet(), dopost() methods are the httpservlets method.both have some restrictions.in doGet() method we send a request it appended to the url
in query strings.but u post the second method it can send viaa socket.
in doGet() method we send some limited request but dopost() are not.
it have unlimited length to send a req.

for tomcat and something general like a database driver put the .jar file in tomcat/commond/lib so that all your web applications can use it
