You are quite wrong my friend... Servlets don't depend on any J2EE container, the only thing you need is a J2SE edition... check this:

javax.servlet is in fact part of the J2EE, one only has to check the javadocs to know this for certain. I wouldn't put my money on a wikipedia page when you can get the info right from the source.

However, you do not need j2EE just to compile servlets. If you use Tomcat then you can compile servlets by adding the tomcat/common/lib/servlet-api.jar to your classpath. I'm sure other webservers like Resin have a similar jar that you can add.
