rs=st.executeQuery();

while(rs.next())

else
sc.getRequestDispatcher("/login.jsp").forward(request,response);
}


rs.close ();
st.close ();
}
catch(Exception e1)
{
e1.printStackTrace();
}

}
}






please tell how to debug this

You must first download j2ee sdk from sun, then place j2ee.jar in the classpath.
javax.servlet isn't in the standard j2se libraries.

First, check if servlet-api.jar and jsp-api.jar really exist in the indicated places.

It might be that the spaces in the directory names cause problems. Try putting directories with spaces in double quotes, like this:

set CLASSPATH="C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\common\lib\servlet-api.jar";"C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\common\lib\jsp-api.jar";.

Can you try "echo %CLASSPATH%" in command prompt and post the output here? Also how are you compiling the code, which command you typed ?

Please have a look at these FAQ. There might be something helpful there.
