I am on p.81 of HFS&JSPs... and running windows... :s
Firstly - it's not really very clear where I am to put my
Java file (I put it in the beer/web-inf/classes/com/example/web dir) - so this may be the problem?
Anyway - I typed in the required text and got the following error in dos:
C:\%CATALINA_HOME%\webapps\Beer v1>javac -classpath %CATALINA_HOME%\common\lib\servlet-api.jar:classes:. -d classes src\com\example\web\BeerSelect.java
error: cannot read: src\com\example\web\BeerSelect.java
1 error
If you could help me I would be extremely grateful!
Also have you any recommendations as to a good DB I can use instead of Oracle 9? I am doing a
servlet for a company as a final year dissertation. I already have the DB strecture, synonyms and some sample data all in sql format - however Oracle is a pig to install and run, and also has a tendancy to run as a server and conflict with Apache whilst I am developing. I understand it will be quite simple to change the database settings after I have developed the servlet in my environment and then adapt it to the companie's oracle environment (they're also running on the Oracle 10g Application Server - another pig to try and use!).
Any help would be most appreciated - especially as I am about 5 months behind with this now!!!
Thanks
Gemma
