Servlets

[Ashu Gupta]

I've just started working on servlets and when I am trying to compile the code, I get some errors. I'm mentioning the eroors and the code below for your refernce, though I have st the path to
path=c:\jdk1.2.2;c:\jdk1.2.2\bin;c:\jdk1.2.2\lib;c:\jsdk2.0;c:\jsdk2.0\bin;c:\jsdk2.0\lib;c:\jsdk2.0\lib\src.jar;c:\jsdk2.0\src\javax\servlet;c:\jsdk2.0\src\javax\servlet\http
I have also reinstalled the jsdk2.0 on my machine. I'm not able to solve the problem
CODE:
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
public class postparam extends GenericServlet{
public void service(ServletResponse response, ServletRequest request)
throws ServletException, IOException{
PrintWriter pw = response.getWriter();
Renumeration e = request.getParameterNames();
while(e.hasMoreElements()){
String pname = (String)e.getnextElement();
pw.print(pname + " = ");
String pvalue = (String)e.getnextElement(pname);
pw.print(pvalue);
}
pw.close();
}


}
ERRORS ON COMPILING
1.Package javax.servlet not found in import
import javax.servlet.*;
2.Superclass GenericServlet of class postparam not found.
public class postparam extends GenericServlet{

Look for servlet.jar file under the "lib" directory of your jsdk folder and add that in your classpath. Remember give the fullpath
For example , CLASSPATH=c:\jsdk2.0\lib\servlet.jar
You should be fine now

Thanks a lot for the reply friend.
As per your advice I made the necessary changes in the class path but the problem is still there. I'm still getting the same errors evrytime I try to compile. Its not with one file, every file that I try to compile,I get the same set of errors.

i typed the following line in my autoexec.bat file and the servlet compiled:
set classpath=c:\jsdk\lib\jsdk.jar;
Bye,

What Tualha is saying may be right. I never used jsdk myself,sorry for the wrong info, but most of the other servlet engines i worked with from jswdk to tomcat the servlet api's are packaged inside servlet.jar. To cut short the jar file that should be in the classpath should contain the servlet api's. To confirm this, open up the jar file using any pkzip/pkunzip utility and see if it contains all the interested packages(javax.servlet.*, javax.servlet.http.*)
