How to give classpath while executing servlets

My Apache Tomcat Server in c:\programfiles
i'm saving my servlet programs in c:\programfiles\Apache Tomcat 4.0\webapps\root\web-inf\classes\xxxx.java.
while compiling i have set the classpath to c:\programfiles\Apache Tomcat 4.0\common\lib\servlet.jar
.....
But,
It is showing some errors .... plz help me ...
My operating System is : Windows 98

It is showing some errors

What are the errors? Without you telling us we can only guess...

while compiling i have set the classpath to c:\programfiles\Apache Tomcat 4.0\common\lib\servlet.jar
.....

If the error is that the system is unable to find the classes in servlet.jar, it may be due to the space between Apache Tomcat and 4.0 if that's how it actually is. You could try changing the dir name to
ApacheTomcat4.0 instead of Apache Tomcat 4.0.
Ofcourse as the post above says, psl always give as much details as possible for us to help u, otherwise we can only make guesses, like how I have done here :-)

pavan,

Your display name is invalid, and accounts with invalid display names get deleted.

Please see the note from Marilyn here.

We require display names to be two words: your first name, a space, then your last name. Fictitious names are not allowed.

thanks,
Dave.

In Tomcat, you can figure out a LOT about the classpath by printing out the ClassLoader...

System.out.println( Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader() );

Their WebappClassLoader class (I think that's what it's called) overrides toString() and prints out a wealth of information. Hope that helps!
