There is a "\" after servlet-api.jar in your classpath. Please remove it.

hi could you share your error.

or do this in your command prompt where you are trying to compile your servlet.

Before compiling set the class path like this:
prompt> set classpath=.;%classpath%;c:\pf\...\lib\servlet-api.jar;

... ==> represents the exact location of .jar file.

prompt> javac -d .\web-inf\classes filename.java

hello all,
thanks for all the help, i tried everything but the thing still isn't working...
Servan Kumar : i removed the "\" at the end but still it didn't compile...
Jasper young : i have gone throw all the tutorials but still it's giving me the same thing...

i tried using command line but because of the IDE (Jcreator) i am using it wouldn't compile if i used "javac" but if i try compiling with the IDE i get errors...

well this is the code i used----

import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;

public class FirstServlet extends HttpServlet {
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws IOException,ServletException {
response.setContentType("text/HTML");
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
out.println("<HTML>");
out.println("<HEAD>");
out.println("<TITLE>Simple Servlet</TITLE>");
out.println("</HEAD>");
out.println("<BODY>");
out.println("<BR><BR><BR>");
out.println("<CENTER><H1>A Simple Servlet</H1></CENTER>");
out.println("</BODY>");
out.println("</HTML>");
out.flush();
}
}

These are the Errors i got....

package javx.servlet does not exist
package javax.servlet does not exist
package javax.servlet.http does not exist
cannot find symbol
cannot find symbol class HttpServletRequest
cannot find symbol class HttpServletResponse
cannot find class ServletException

It occur because the servlet libraries is not available in your classpath. as others are already pointed you about the FAQs. there is an entry about " classpath" which may help you to resolve this problem.

or do search on Google about how to add libraries in JCreator IDE.

hope it helps.

Please be sure to use UBB code tags when posting code to the forums. Unformatted code is extremely hard to read and many people that might be able to help you will just move along. Please read this for more information.

The code is immaterial. How are you compiling? What's your classpath and what command are you using to compile?

Hi Emmanuel Okandeji,

Try to put the path of servlet-api.jar in tool's variable(Eg: In Eclipse, you need to put the path of servlet-api.jar in windows->preferences->java->Build path->classpath variables).Similarly you may set for JCreator. I am not aware of JCreator. I think this should resolve your issue.

Regards,
Sandeep.

Although this mightnot be the cause to you problem, but why are you having JDK & Tomcat sitting in the same directory ?

The display name is fine, we allow leading but not trailing initials, although we prefer full names.
