There are two issues...

1. Do not use javawebserver2.0 (and now that I read that more closely, jdk1.1.3??, you meant 1.3.1 right?) These are very old versions, and are several minor point releases behind the current specs.

Tomcat is now the reference implementation from Sun, and you can find it and the most recent servlet spec here: http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/download.html

2. servlet.jar needs to be in your CLASSPATH in order for you to compile servelts.

Amit,
You should first download Tomcat 4.0.1 from Sun as Mike suggested. Once you have downloaded Tomcat and installed it on your machine, you should be able to find servlet.jar in the Tomcat folder under the directory common\lib. For example, if you have installed Tomcat in the directory C:\Tomcat 4.0.1, you should be able to find the file C:\Tomcat 4.0.1\common\lib\servlet.jar.
You then include this file in your classpath.
