Servlet creation

I'm quite new to servlets and have just started reading K&B's book on it. I was trying to create a servlet on my eclipse but it doesn't allow me to import the servlet package.

I have j2sdk1.5.0 installed on my machine. What else am I missing? please suggest.

You can get either download j2ee from Sun's site or, if you are using Tomcat, put servlet-api.jar on your classpath. It's under TOMCAT_HOME/common/lib

Cheers Ben - I'm using Tomcat and could find servlet-api.jar as well but since I was using eclipse I never had to set the classpath before!! I tried setting it just now but its not working :-(

this is how I created the classpath environment variable:

variable name: CLASSPATH
variable value: C:\Program Files\Java\j2sdk1.5.0\bin;C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\common\lib\servlet-api

Thanks

I think with Eclipse, you add it as an "external jar" (somewhere from the projects menu).

got it!

cheers Ben
