Hi Devemor !
Installing J2EE may be an overkill
If you have other needs for J2EE, that is probably the best way to go. However, if you are solely interested in the classes for the javax.servlet and javax.servlet.http packages, downloading and installing J2EE is probably overkill. Since I don't currently have any other need for J2EE, I elected the second option.
Download and install the two servlet packages
Here is what I did:
* Download and save the file named servletapi2_1_1-win.zip from the bottom of the web page at http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/archive.html.
* Create a folder in the root directory of my C-drive named JavaServlet2.1.1.
* Extract the contents of the zip file into the new folder. The most important item extracted is a file named servlet.jar, which contains the servlet packages. In addition, there is a folder named api, which contains standard documentation for the packages. Also included, but of little interest to me, is a folder named src, apparently containing the source code for all the files in the package.
* Create a desktop shortcut to the file named index.html in the api folder to make the documentation readily available.
* Add the following environment variable to make the servlet classes available to the Java compiler and the Java virtual machine:
CLASSPATH=c:\JavaServlet2.1.1\servlet.jar;.
(Don't forget the period on the end, which makes it possible to find class files in the current directory. If you already have a CLASSPATH environment variable, don't replace it, update it.)
Once again, unless I left something out, if you follow these instructions, you should be ready at this point to write, compile, and deploy a simple servlet and a simple JSP document on the Tomcat servlet/JSP container.

hi :-)set you classpath when compiling your java file :-)regards,
Hi!The contents i have posted are actually contained in this website http://www.dickbaldwin.com/java/Java679.htm(Refer this)RegardsPrasanna.B
Hi,PrasuThank you very much,you answer me question so quickly and detailly,I will follow instruction in the reply to continue my studying program in Jsp/servlet.RegardsDevemor
Hi Prasu,
I have followed the instructions of your replying,however I have not solve the problem.I whether it is because that I have installed another software which is bundled with Tomcat,therefore,the system variable of CATALINA_HOME AND CATALINA_BASE are conflict with Apache Tomcat which I installed it in another directory,it is because of this reason,Can you tell me the mothod to solve it.
thank you for your kind attention,please reply.

Hi!If u installed in C:\JavaServlet2.1.1To complie the servletDrive:\wherer your servlet -program reside \ javac .;classpath C:\JavaServlet2.1.1\servlet.jar ServletProgram.javayou can compile your servlet in this wayRegardsPrasanna.B
Hi!
For example if u contain your servlet program in(FirstServlet.java)
D:\ServletProgramExamples\
Consider you have jdk1.5.0_08(C:\jdk1.5.0_08)
Setting path for jdk
D:\ServletProgramExamples> set path=C:\jdk1.5.0_08\bin
After that setting classpath to compile the servlet
D:\ServletProgramExamples>javac -classpath .;C:\JavaServlet2.1.1\servlet.jar
FirstServlet.java
I think u are clear now

Hi Prasu thank for your helping,I have complie the java file of servlet in the way you wrote,but there also contain the problem.Does it concern with the version of the downloaded servlet package?and thank for kind attention of everybody.RegardsDevemor
Hi,Prasu. Thank you for your recommending URL,accessing to the Website and navigating to www.coreservlets.com,I followed the instructions on the webpage,I have solved the problem.when I copy the HelloServlet.class compiled HelloServlet.java file to the directory of
Tomcat install_dir/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes,however,afer I click on the URL of localhost/servlet/HelloServlet,it pop-up a error message writing that the HTTP Request Sevlet resource is not available,how can I correct this bug.The CLASSPATH variable and other setting is correct.
Thank for everybody attention.

Hi Devemor !
Did u check with any sample servlets(like hello world!)
Did u got the home page of tomcat while running http://localhost/
Try to post the code, and specify what exception you are getting.
if u get (404 exception) the requested file is not there in your tomcat directory
