i get the following errors: C:\epocketmoney_java>javac HTTPGetServlet.java HTTPGetServlet.java:1: Package javax.servlet not found in import. import javax.servlet.*; ^ HTTPGetServlet.java:2: Package javax.servlet.http not found in import. import javax.servlet.http.*; ^ error: File c:\javax\servlet\http\HttpServlet.class does not contain type HttpSe rvlet as expected, but type javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet. Please remove the fi le, or make sure it appears in the correct subdirectory of the class path. HTTPGetServlet.java:5: Superclass HttpServlet of class HTTPGetServlet not found. public class HTTPGetServlet extends HttpServlet
The first two look like servlet.jar is not in your classpath.
The last one is reminiscent of "trouble with packages". This type of error usually happens when a class file is found for an import, but in the incorrect package. It will find HTTPServlet, but it won't be where it expects to find it (ie: inside a folder structure that mirrors the package structure).
I got this error when I was compiling classes into the '.' directory that had package information, and then compiling classes that depended on those ones. It would find the class files, but they were in the wrong place, so it would give me: "Please remove the file, or make sure it appears in the correct subdirectory of the class path."
Which is a WAY more helpful message than the jdk1.3 would give you.
You're using 1.1.8 or 1.2 I think?

i am using java 1.2.2 the servlet is installed in c:\javax and directory structure is: c:\javax\servlet\http my java is installed in c:\jdk1.2.2, with all the sub directories in it. the only servlet.jar file i found is in my tomcat subdirectory: c:\program files\apache tomcat 4.0\common\lib\servlet.jar... i wonder if this is the correct file? the file size is 75 kb i did delete a jar file in my jdk1.2.2 folder. it was a 16 mb file and it was called src.jar or something like that.... i read that this was just the source for java so i figured i didnt need it... i wd like to have ur permission to email u directly to solve this problem.... regards mansoor my os is w/95
You would type that in at a prompt that is at the directory where the HTTPGetServlet.java file is.

Hey Mike!!! it worked...... i wd not have figured this one ot for 10 years i am sure...it compiled!!!
odd tho.... any reason for the classpath not working in my autoexec.bat file?? ok
i have compiled it... i tried to go a step further: sine i have tomcat...and the when i click the Start tomcat it opens a java dos window and after a while gives me a "failed ..something something.." .... i assume my tomcat is not running. my frontpage is runningon port 80 and my fp sites work fine... can i use fp server?? how can i fix my tomcat so it runs ... thanks again! mansoor
As for autoexec.bat, I'd need to see how you are setting it to diagnose the problem there.
If you start Tomcat, that window should remain open. If it's closing very quickly and you can't read the error, start a DOS window first and go to <tomcatHome>/bin/ and type startup. What is the error you get? You'll need to be more specific than "something something"
As for the fp server (FrontPage server?), if you are talking about PWS from Microsoft, this should not conflict with Tomcat, as it runs on port 80, and tomcat on port 8080. (So if you are testing if your Tomcat is running, you should be hitting http://localhost:8080/ )
Also, because you don't have Apache running on port 80, which can redirect to Tomcat when appropriate, you'll need to use Tomcat for your webserver as well... what this means is that whatever you are writing for Tomcat, you MUST specify :8080 after localhost.

Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from Files\Apache i get the above error when i start the apache server.....???
When you set your JAVA_HOME and TOMCAT_HOME in the autoexec.bat, don't use the long file name version. Use the SFN one (the one with ~'s)
So it would be something like: set TOMCAT_HOME=c:\Progra~1\Apache~1\jakart~1
This might also be the reason your classpath is not being set properly in the autoexec.bat. Sometimes you can get away with surrounding LFN's with quotes, but I know for the startup script for Tomcat, there cannot be any spaces in the TOMCAT_HOME or JAVA_HOME.
I haven't seen that error before, but give that a try.

i have set up Catalina_home and java_home variable in my autoexec i do use short files names .... when i run the startup.bat form the directory, i get 'out of environment space' .... i reset my files=64 and buffers=64 in my config.sys but no diff. i have a feeling this is the reason why tomcat is not running. what do u think... also....on the odd chance that it runs, how will i know that tomcat is runnning??? ---------------- my autoexec.bat is: path=c:\windows;c:\windows\command;c:\jdk1.2.2\bin;c:\tc\tcv3 C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\MSCDEX /D:MSCD001 /V doskey cd\epocketmoney_java set classpath=.;c:\javax\servlet;c:\jdk1.2.2\bin;c:\javax\servlet\http; set JAVA_HOME=c:\jdk1.2.2\bin set CATALINA_HOME=c:\Progra~1\Apache~1 ------------- so what do i do now??
One last thing about your CLASSPATH variable in autoexec.bat. I notice you have entries like: c:\javax\servlet and c:\javax\http\servlet. This is not really how to set the classpath. Replace classpath with a statement like this: set CLASSPATH=.;<tomcathome>\common\lib\servlet.jar When you are adding jar files to CLASSPATH for compiling source files, you need to *fully* specify the file, and not just the directory you'd find it in. If you do this, then you won't need to send it in to the javac command with -classpath switch, as I showed you previously. [This message has been edited by Mike Curwen (edited October 24, 2001).]

Hi there: I put "d:\jakarta-tomcat-4.0\common\lib\servlet.jar" in my classpath, but it still does work. I used textpad and got : D:\corejava\jservlet2-examples\ch02\Hello.java:2: package javax.servlet does not exist import javax.servlet.*; ^ D:\corejava\jservlet2-examples\ch02\Hello.java:3: package javax.servlet.http does not exist import javax.servlet.http.*; ^ D:\corejava\jservlet2-examples\ch02\Hello.java:5: cannot resolve symbol symbol : class HttpServlet location: class Hello public class Hello extends HttpServlet { ^ D:\corejava\jservlet2-examples\ch02\Hello.java:7: cannot resolve symbol symbol : class HttpServletRequest location: class Hello public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res) ^ D:\corejava\jservlet2-examples\ch02\Hello.java:7: cannot resolve symbol symbol : class HttpServletResponse location: class Hello public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res) ^ D:\corejava\jservlet2-examples\ch02\Hello.java:8: cannot resolve symbol symbol : class ServletException location: class Hello throws ServletException, IOException { ^ 6 errors Process completed with exit code 1 Can any one tell me Why. Thanks

make one copy of your servlet.jar and put it under your jdk's lib folder. Also you can put all the .jar files you may need during compiling into lib folder and .jar you may need for run time into jdk/../jre/ext. you can try, it work for me.
