java 7: cannot find symbol

I am trying the very first sample from Java's Programming Language book for course SL-275-SE6 called TestGreeting. Here is the code:

TestGreeting.java

//
// Sample "Hello World" application
//

public class TestGreeting {
public static void main (String[] args) {
Greeting hello = new Greeting();
hello.greet();

}
}

Greeting.java

public class Greeting {
public void greet() {
System.out.println("hi");
}
}

When I go to compile TestGreeting.Java, I get an error message
7: cannot find symbol
symbol : class Greeting
location : class TestGreeting
Greeting hello = new Greeting();

I've tried the HelloWorldApp and it comiles and run
class HelloWorldApp {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello World!"); // Display the string.
}
}

I don't have admin priviliges on my work computer. My jdk is installed on c:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.6.0_06/bin

My work directory is on h:/Java

I've been searching the error and the posts are pointing towards setpath. I've tried different commads but I am still not having any success.

Anyone has encountered this error - How can I resolve it?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Kanwal,

Are those two classes remaining in the same package?

They are in the same folder.

Do you have a classpath assigned? And if you do, is that folder in the classpath?

But it works fine for me..
without any compilation errors.

I don't think I've been doing it correctly.

I am working on windows and here is what I am doing:

c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_06\bin>javac -classpath H:\java\TestGreeting.java

I get the following message:
javac: no source files...

Is the syntax for my set classpath correct?
If I don't have admin priviliges to my computer, Can I still assign classpath?

Thanks!

Issue resolved

Once set the CLASSPATH correctly by -
c:\> set CLASSPATH=H:\Java\test

I was able to compile and run the prorgam

Thanks!
