new to servlets! plz help!!!

hi all,

i am new to servlets and jsp. i have succesfully downloaded tomcat 3.2.1 . i wrote a program HelloServlet.java and when i tried to compile it i am getting -
import javax.servlet.* not found
etc etc for all javax imports
i am running it on win98 and have jdk1.2.2
should i change my classpath so that it also points to javax package or anything like that?
Please help. i am struggling with this from yesterday.
thank you,
rajani

Yes, u have to set the classpath to point to the javax.servlet.* package.

Thank you Nitin Shivaram,
the problem with the import is gone now. but i am still getting an error as:
superclass HttpServlet of class HelloWorld not found and
similarly superclass GenericServlet of class HelloServlet not found (2 different programs)
could you throw more light into this problem. is there anything else i am missing?
thank you once again

Hi saran,

here are the contents of autoexec.bat in my system:
SET CLASSPATH=c:\jdk1.2.2\lib\tools.jar
PATH=%PATH%;c:\jdk1.2.2\bin;
SET PATH=%PATH%;c:\games\tomcat\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1\bin

SET CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;c:\games\tomcat\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1\webapps\root\docs\api
SET JAVA_HOME=c:\jdk1.2.2
SET TOMCAT_HOME=c:\games\tomcat\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1
I am not having any problem with import but only with what i have mentioned above. Can u look at my classpaths and tell me where i am wrong?
Waiting for a reply
thank you
rajani

Hi Rajani,
I haven't used Tomcat but i guess this may be a problem..
Try by including these files in your class path
set CLASSPATH=%TOMCAT_HOME%\classes
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;%TOMCAT_HOME%\lib\webserver.jar
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;%TOMCAT_HOME%\lib\jasper.jar
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;%TOMCAT_HOME%\lib\xml.jar
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;%TOMCAT_HOME%\lib\servlet.jar
The problem is the compiler not able to find the HttpServlet classes in the class path..
Hope this helps

Thank you saran.
The problem was not with the classpath. I downloaded servlet.jar from sun's site and everything was compiled well. I am now able to compile and test all my servlets.
We need not include all the jar files, i believe that the tomcat will automatically include them.
Thanks you once again for replying.
