Cannot fing the javax.servlet.*; package

[nobr]Hi everybody.. I am new to J2EE Programming.. I just wrote a very small and simple Servlet to see how it works.. The Servlet is designed to take in the the name and a favourite color of a user via a HTML page and display it to him

Here is the code:

import java.io.*;

import javax.servlet.*;

import javax.servlet.http.*;

publicclass VerifyDataextends HttpServlet

{

publicvoid doGet (HttpServletRequest reg, HttpServletResponse res)throws ServletException, IOException

{

res.setContentType("text/html");

PrintWriter out = res.getWriter();

String name= req.getParameter ("name");

String color=req.getParameter ("color");

out.println("<html>");

out.println("<head>");

out.println("<title>Simple HTML Form</title>");

out.println("<link rel='styleSheet' type='text/css' href='examples.css'>");

out.println("</head>");

out.println("<body>");

out.println("<h1>Hello "+name+" Your favourite Color is : " +color+"</h1>");

out.println("<form method='GET' action='verifydata'>");

out.println("

Please Type in your name here:

");

out.println("<input type='text' name='name'>");

out.println("

Now select the color of your choice

");

out.println("<select name='color' size='1'>");

out.println("<option>red<option>green<option>blue</select>");

out.println("<br></br>");

out.println("<input type='submit'>");

out.println("<br></br>");

out.println("<table>");

out.println("<tr><th>Colors</th><th>Description</th></tr>");

out.println("<tr><td>Red</td><td>Blood</td></tr>");

out.println("<tr><td>Green</td><td>Grass</td></tr>");

out.println("<tr><td>Blue</td><td>Sky</td></tr>");

out.println("</table>");

out.println("</form>");

out.println("</body>");

out.println("</html>");

}

}

BUT I got the following Error:

C:\Sun\AppServer\jdk\bin>javac VerifyData.java

Package you are looking for is in C:\Sun\AppServer\lib\javaee.jar (if you are using Java EE 5) or in C:\Sun\AppServer\lib\j2ee.jar (if you are using J2EE 1.4). So, simply add that jar to your compilation classpath.

Hi

This problem happens to me also. My classpath is set up as you indicates and my path is also, but when I compile my servlet using next sentence, it works fine.

javac -classpath "D:\Tomcat\common\lib\servlet.jar;C:\Sun\AppServer\lib\j2ee.jar" BeerSelect.java

I would like it to be compiled without using such a long sentence or writing a *.bat for every new servlet I create. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks in advanced.

hi,on windows try to set up de classpath on Start - Control Panel - System - Advanced - Environment Variables - System Variables and just create a variable called CLASSPATH.i think you can also create an bat file with SET CLASSPATH=D:\Tomcat\common\lib\servlet.jar
