2. is it enough...if i want to use a package in my servlet...i just import it....e.g

If you are going to import a package, that package root directory must be in class path.

eg. com.test.mypackage is the package.

and you are have your source java file Test.java in C:\MyJava folder and you are importing the mypackage in your source file.

and this com directory is in C:\MyJava drive. then.. the folder MyJava should be in Classpath, while compiling and executing the source file Test.java

set classpath=C:\MyJava;%classpath%

But note that Tomcat does not pay any attention to your environment CLASSPATH, instead it has its own conventions on where to find class files - see the class-loader-howto.html file under tomcat-docs in your Tomcat installation.
