'javax.servlet . * package does not exist !'

[Ghazala Islam]

I have following lines in my autoexec.bat file.
rem java
path=%path%;c:\jdk1.3\bin
set JAVA_HOME=c:\jdk1.3
set CLASSPATH=.;
rem tomcat
path=%path%;c:\tomcat\bin
set TOMCAT_HOME=c:\tomcat
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%c:\tomcat\lib\servlet.jar
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%c:\tomcat\lib\jasper.jar
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%c:\java
I've saved and compile my servlet in tomcat/webapps/
examples/web-inf/classes direectory.When I compile
the servlet it gives error on first line where
'import javax servlet.*' is written that
'Package javax.servlet.*' does not exist'.
What to do now or where I'm doing wrong?
are there any modifications to be made in autoexec.bat
file and web.xml?

Please advise.

Hi Ghazala,
The problem might be because, there is no semicolon after
%CLASSPATH% in every line.
it should be like this
set TOMCAT_HOME=c:\tomcat
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;c:\tomcat\lib\servlet.jar
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;c:\tomcat\lib\jasper.jar
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;c:\java
or like this
set TOMCAT_HOME=c:\tomcat
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;%TOMCAT_HOME%\lib\servlet.jar
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;%TOMCAT_HOME%\lib\jasper.jar
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%c:\java

My system settings:
JAVA_HOME=d:\jdk1.3
TOMCAT_HOME=d:\tomcat
CLASSPATH=%JAVA_HOME%\lib\tools.jar;%TOMCAT_HOME%\lib\servlet.jar
Hope this helps
