When servlet compiles it can't find bean

[Eric Howell]

I wonder, could one of you guru's please help me out. I'ev been stumped for a few hours with this.
When my servlet compiles it can't find the bean even though the class is in the same directory. I am using jdk1.4 and both are in my /bin. My classpath is set up to find c:\tomcat\lib\servlet.jar.
When I compile the servlet I get the following:
<CODE>
C:\jdk1.4\bin>javac UrlServlet.java
UrlServlet.java:19: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : class UrlBean
location: class UrlServlet
UrlBean bean;
^
UrlServlet.java:46: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : class UrlBean
location: class UrlServlet
bean = new UrlBean(u);
^
2 errors
</CODE>
My code is as follows:
1) for the servlet
<CODE>
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util
public class UrlServlet extends HttpServlet
{
public void service(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)throws IOException, ServletException
{
StringBuffer sb;

String s, st;
String urlString;
int index1,index3,index4, index5;
int index2;
String stTitle, stDesc, stDesc1, stDesc2, stDesc3;

response.setContentType("text/html");
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
urlString = request.getParameter("url");
URL u = new URL(urlString);
UrlBean bean = new UrlBean(u);//PROBLEM
sb = bean.getData();
.....etc
</CODE>
2)For my bean which compiles without problem
<CODE>
import java.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class UrlBean
{
String s;
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
private StringBuffer data;
BufferedReader br;
public UrlBean()
{
}
public UrlBean(URL u)
{
testUrl(u);
}
public void testUrl(URL u)
{
try
{
br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader (u.openConnection().getInputStream()));
while ( (s = br.readLine()) != null)
{
sb.append(s + "\n");
}
}
catch (IOException ee)
{
sb = null;
}
setData(sb);
}
public void setData(StringBuffer sb)
{
data = sb;
}
public StringBuffer getData()
{
return data;
}
}
</CODE>
I can't understand why such a fundemental thing is going wrong.
I have also tried jdk1.2
I'em totally stumped and think its something really stupid.
Thanks in advance

Apologies if this is too obvious I think it may be that your classpath needs to include .; at the beginning. This will search the current directory first when compiling.
I hope this helps.

Thanks Robert. You're a star. I had overridden my classpath with one of my setup.bat's. I didn't think of checking them as I didn't realize I'ed done it.Consider this problem sorted.
Thanks again mate
