Tomcat compile your Java classes for you.
You have to do that yourself.

See:
http://faq.javaranch.com/java/CompilingServlets

If you're not used to setting classpaths or using javac, let me know and I'll ask to have this thread moved to our Java In General (Beginner) forum where these things are usually covered.

Heheh.
Let me see if I can get this moved to our Java In General forum where you'll get lots of help compiling your class so you can sleep.

What have you done to set your classpath so far?

Have you added servlet-api.jar to it?
The servlet-api.jar file can be found in tomcat/common/lib (or if you're using Tomcat 6: tomcat/lib).

How are you trying to compile your servlet classes?



See this FAQ for help pasting environment variables, etc.. into the ranch:

dear ben,
I have set my environment variables like this
catalina_home as C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0
java_home as c:\progarm files\java\jdk
path as c:\program files\java\jdk\bin
classpath as C:\program files\java\jdk\lib;C:\program files\java\jdk\lib;C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\lib\servlet-api.jar.

so any changes to be done to this,i am getting the same error
package does not found....
