[shabbir zakir]

hi !
I have just passed SCJP. I wanted to learn servlets and other technologies so i downloaded
the jsdk2.1 package. And i also given the path in the bat file. But still when i compile any basic servlet program it is giving me error that javax.servlet does not exist. I don't know why it is giving me these types of errors.Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You have to add the servlet jar files to your CLASSPATH.
Refer to the instructions (html file that comes along with jswdk) for details.

hi shabbir,
installing only jsdk is not sufficient u have install any application server that support servlets like tomcat,java web server,jrun ....so decide which server u want to use and install it.if u know java then it is quite easy to work on servlets.

Hi Shabir,

Congratulations on clearing the SCJP exam.Please read the documentation of JSDK 2.1 for configuration of the classpath.You can put the servlet.jar in the classpath or alternatively put it in jre/lib/ext folder, so that JVM can take care of your servlet compilation/execution.
Hope this helps.
Regards,

Hi Shabbir,
U have to import the 'javax.servlet.*' package into ur program. So, just include this line into ur program:
include javax.servlet.*;
and then compile. It must work.

Hi Shabbir,
I would suggest, you import javax.servlet.http.*, and javax.servlet.* both.The former for HttpServlet class and the latter for ServletException class
Also, it is a common practice not to override the service method, unless you are implementing a new protocol like HTTP.
Hence, you could try the following code :

    
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class HelloServlet extends HttpServlet {
   public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException,IOException {
      response.setContentType("text/html");
      PrintWriter pw = response.getWriter();
      pw.println("<b>Hello!</b>");
      pw.close();
   }
} 

Hope this helps.
Regards,

Sorry Shabbir for the error in my previous reply.
The actual line must be:
import javax.servlet.*;
I just typed 'include' by mistake instead of import.
