but when i compile my servlet iam getting an error saying that,
cannot read the PostParametersServlet.java.
and my servlet is

package servlets;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.Servlet.*;
public class PostParametersServlet extends GenericServlet
{
public void service(ServletRequest request,ServletResponse response)throws
ServletException,IOException
{
PrintWriter pw=response.getWriter();
Enumeration e=request.getParameterNames();
while(e.hasMoreElements())
{
String pname=(String)e.nextElement();
pw.print(pname + " = ");
String pvalue=request.getParameter(pname);
pw.println(pvalue);
}
pw.close();
}

<body>
<center>
<form name="form1" method="post" action="http://localhost:8080/servlet/PostParametersServlet">
<table>

Hi,
Make sure u r compiling u'r servlet from the directory jsdk2.0\lib\servlet
servlet.jar shuld be included in u'r classpath
current directory also shuld be included in classpath, say set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;.;
Make sure u r putting u'r servlet classes in correct directory..
read documentation carefully..

"package servlets;" ??

wow! you sound like you are demanding...7:08 am
7:28 am and 7:34 am. I do understand that you want
to solve the problem asap.
If I could suggest one thing, please be patient
when you are starting to learn something new.
anyways! pl. le us know what happened, now I am more
curious....

And off the record, not many people would suggest the
use of JSDK. Try to switch to Tomcat or other servlet
containers/app servers when you get a chance.

And BTW Rekha, I just realised this is your

on a working day may be you din't get a fast
response today.
Hope you stick around and have fun.

Hi Rekha
comment like package servlets; from yours servlet
because your form action is
<form name="form1" method="post" action="http://localhost:8080/servlet/PostParametersServlet">
that means you are not puting your servlet in any dir. called servlet so comment your first line of servlet and it will get complied.
try that and let me know.

Methinks:-
1. Place the .java file in c:\jsdk2.0\lib\servlets since your package is servlets.
2. Change to directory c:\jsdk2.0\lib (NOT c:\jsdk2.0\lib\servlets)
3. Ensure that classpath is set properly to include current directory and directory of servlet.jar (read documentation).
4. While in c:\jsdk2.0\lib, enter the following command:-
[B]javac servlets\PostParametersServlet.java [B]
This should compile successfully I think.
Madhav, it feels great to read your posts. Makes it worth visiting the Java Ranch.

Rahul,
but i only find a single notepad called "jsdk" in c:/jsdk2.0/lib.
There is no "servlet.zar" in lib.

Hi madhav,
i didn't want to demand anybody actually.i wanted to get the answer asap.
Anyway iam sorry for making u feel so.

i didn't want to demand anybody actually.
noooooo......i was just teasing you.....

i wanted to get the answer asap.
i think i already said that!
Anyway iam sorry for making u feel so.
well, we want the javaranch to be a friendly place,
no sorry no thanks, well maybe Thanks!
So does it work now?
But the more serious thing you need to consider is that
the use of JSDK will disappoint a lot of people in this
forum - one for sure is Bill Brogden, the famous author.
I am surprised he isn't in this discussion yet!
One of his famous stmts is "No, not JSDK again".

O.k. then iam trying to download the tomcat webserver.In that iam selecting binary version,release build.butb again in the binary version there r so many options.
Which one should i select?

Personally, I would try this: http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-tomcat/release/v3.2.1/bin/
jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1.zip 12-Dec-2000 14:33 3.0M
This would be my choice of download for MS/win.
