I am new to servlets and just downloaded Tomcat - version 3.2.1 Since I am working on Windows 95 thought an earlier version may be better. Also working with J2EE 1.3 I set up all the environment variables and classpaths. Now I have my testservlet under the directory c:\servlets. I am compiling it using the following command from the directory c:\servlets "javac -classpath servlet.jar;.HelloWorld.java". I get no error messages, but find no class files under this directory as expected. If I don't specify the classpath then I get errors while compiling saying that it can't find the required libraries, so definitely when I specify the right classpath I know that it has all the libraries to compile. It is a weird problem since I don't get any error messages. I am wondering if I need to place the file HelloWorld.java somewhere in the tomcat install_dir or is it some problem like that. Amy advice would be much appreciated. Regards Charu

One of the best ways is to copy servlet.jar from <tomcat3.2xfolder>/lib into your <jdkfolder>/jre/lib/ext. Each jar file in this folder will come into classpath without explicit %classpath% variable declaration. You can compiel all your servlets without adding -classpath suffix HTH -- Venkat
