Paul Thorp

I am not sure what I have done, but the program is now compiling.

I want to extend my sincere thanks for all of your help and support.

Thanks

Thanks for the response Paul.

Yes it is the one that is commented out, but the shouldn't the import
import javax.servlet.*; just above that line complete the necessary import?

I made sure the two jar files servlet-api.jar and jsp-api.jar were in the classpath of the compile command. (see below and in the dos console log in the post above.

javac src\com\example\misc\TagHandlerClass1.java -d classes -classpath c:\aaaTomcat\common\lib\servlet-api.jar;c:\aaaTomcat\common\lib\jsp-api.jar;c:\TagSample\classes\com\example\misc;./classes

Sorry, Here is the tag handler class file I am trying to compile.

//*******************************************************************************
// Simple Tag Handler Class is
//*******************************************************************************
package com.example.misc;

import javax.servlet.*;
//import javax.servlet.jsp.JspException;
//import javax.servlet.jsp.tagext.SimpleTagSupport;
import java.io.IOException;



public class TagHandlerClass1 extends SimpleTagSupport {

public void doTag ()
throws JspException, IOException {

//*** The context object contains the response writer
getJspContext().getOut().print("Outpit from Simple Tag Handler");
}
}

Thanks. Here is some more info.

I am trying to create some tag habdler examples to cement my learning process. I am getting compile errors indicating that the SimpleTagSupport class cannot be found.

It is also indicating that the package javax.servlet.jsp is not found. I obviously have something wrong with either the version or the installation of java.

Any ideas???
