Hi,
Tom
I was also been the victim of such things quite recently.But I faced the problem for the JSP.it said "can not find class name servlet:JSP" for the sake of nothing.AS per your posting there is nothing wrong with classpath.For running servlets,you need to have "servlet.jar" in the classpath which you rightly did.
In such a case try going down the hierarchy of packages and see if there is any security problem like "access permissions".IF it is the case,give the "full control" to all the packages under tomcat.Also see if you have locked the tomcat dir.Try to be owner of all the subfolders under Tomcat.I think you are getting me.Even if the problem persists,just uninstall the hopeless stuff,reinstall it and I m sure it will work.
Many a times computer try to test our brain.We are absolutely right in everything (classpath etc.)Still things do not work.
In such cases without taking onus on ourselves it is always advisable to reinstall the thing.See unjarring your "servlet.jar" and see if "javax" is really there.
I hope this helps.

Tom what i would do then is this. Go to where you have jdk1.3 or whatever located. Then c:\jdk1.3\jre\lib\ext\
and put servlet.jar file in there. It should work then you don't need to configure your classpath then.

//=============================
.;c:\jdk1.3.0_02\bin;c:\jdk1.3.0_02\lib\jaxp.jar;c:\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1\lib\servlet.jar;c:\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1\lib\jasper.jar;c:\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1\lib\jaxp.jar;c:\jakarta-tomc at-3.2.1\lib\webserver.jar;c:\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1\src;
//==============================
Here is my servlet file
//==========================
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class ServletTemplate extends HttpServlet
{
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException

PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
response.setContentType("text/plain");
out.println("Snoop Servlet");
}

hi,
Tom
Could you see "javax" package after unjarring "servlet.jar" file.
I think it must not be there or your classpath setting is not accepting that.From comand prompt you go step by step through the hierarchy of Tomcat by giving "dir" every time and see whether you see "servlet"directory at all.If it is there I would suggest to check the "access permissions" of both "tomcat and "jdk" folders.The last option is to download the tomcat afresh and try again.
