I'm running into a problem trying to compile
servlets and building a package.
Unless I specify the servlet api package specifically when compiling,
java can't find it, despite the fact that the package is explicitly described in the path.
echo $CLASSPATH
.:/Users/Aodhan/servdev:/Library/Tomcat/home/common/lib/servlet-api.jar:.
$javac HtmlHelper.java
HtmlHelper.java:3: package javax.servlet does not exist
import javax.servlet.*;
^
HtmlHelper.java:4: package javax.servlet.http does not exist
import javax.servlet.http.*;
^
2 errors
$javac -classpath /Library/Tomcat/home/common/lib/servlet-api.jar HtmlHelper.java
$
------------------
additionally, when trying to create a package, I get the following error:
New-Orleans/~/servdev/gryf/523 aodhan $jserv HelloServlet3.java
HelloServlet3.java:13: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : class HtmlHelper
location: package gryf
out.println( gryf.HtmlHelper.getHead(" Hello Servlet 3 " ) +
^
HelloServlet3.java:14: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : class HtmlHelper
location: package gryf
"Hello 3!" + gryf.HtmlHelper.getFoot() );
^
2 errors
HtmlHelper.java and HelloServlet3.java are both in ~/servdev/gryf/ and both are specified as part of package gryf. If I compile HelloServlet3.java as part of package gryf but without reference to HtmlHelper.java, no problem.
$head HtmlHelper.java
package gryf;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class HtmlHelper
{
public static
String getHead( String title )
{
...
$head HelloServlet3.java
package gryf;
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class HelloServlet3 extends HttpServlet
{
public void doGet( HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp ) throws ServletException, IOException
...

Any idea what kind of noob mistake I'm making? Thanks!
