Compiling servlets

[Antonio Marcos]

Hi !
I'm Java student and english too...
I have a problem. I found errors when try compile servlet-api.jar from Tomcat. Below, follow my environment and line commands:

CLASSPATH :
.;C:\Sun\SDK\bin;C:\Sun\SDK\jdk\jre\bin;C:\Sun\SDK\jdk\bin

CATALINA_HOME :
c:\Tomcat

JAVA_HOME:
c:\Sun\SDK\JDK

PATH:
C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\bin;C:\Arquivos de programas\Borland\Delphi7\Bin;C:\Arquivos de programas\Borland\Delphi7\Projects\Bpl\;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\Arquivos de programas\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\BINN;%PATH%;%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%PATH%;\des\delphi7\bpl

source path:
C:\Des\Java\web\proj\beerV1>

command to compile:
javac - classpath \Tomcat\common\lib\servlet-api.jar:classes:. -d classes src/com/example/web/BeerSelect.java

Well, the compiler found the errors. My mind said... the compiler not found the path with servlet-api.jar ( in other words, tomcat/common/lib ) because my source code java (BeerSelect.java) got
library errors ( not found javax.HttpServlet.*; javax.Servlet.*; )
example:

In my computer, the TomCat is in directory c:\Tomcat\.....

what's wrong ?

Thank´s

You need to add servlet-api.jar to the classpath.

Bear, thank´s for attention but, still dont work...
see the environment more time:


Classpath according to your answer:
.;C:\Sun\SDK\bin;C:\Sun\SDK\jdk\jre\bin;C:\Sun\SDK\jdk\bin;%CATALINA_HOME%\common\lib\servlet-api.jar;%CATALINA_HOME%\common\lib\jsp-api.jar;.;%CLASSPATH%

follow the others:
CATALINA_HOME = c:\tomcat
JAVA_HOME = c:\sun\sdk\jdk
PATH=
C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\bin;C:\Arquivos de programas\Borland\Delphi7\Bin;C:\Arquivos de programas\Borland\Delphi7\Projects\Bpl\;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\Arquivos de programas\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\BINN;%PATH%;%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%PATH%;\des\delphi7\bpl;%CLASSPATH%

and, finally, the errors:

C:\Des\Java\web\proj\beerV1>javac -classpath c:\tomcat\common\lib\servlet-api.ja
r:classes:. -d classes src\com\example\web\BeerSelect.java

As this is nothing that is Tomcat-specific, and has more to do with setting up than Tomcat, it's been moved to a more appropriate forum with a change of subject.
