javac problems

[Ramm Kummar]

I have copied the servlet-api and jsp-api jar files from the lib folder of the tomcat to the lib folder of the jdk. Still I am getting this error: I have given these jar files in the system classpath variables alo. Please suggest me here.

   

C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\webapps\demo>javac HelloS
ervlet.java
HelloServlet.java:3: package javax.servlet.http does not exist
import javax.servlet.http.*;
^
HelloServlet.java:4: package javax.servlet does not exist
import javax.servlet.*;

public class HelloServlet extends HttpServlet {

HelloServlet.java:7: cannot find symbol

Which jar files you included? Servlets and JSP stuff is part of J2EE (the j2ee.jar).

try
javac -classpath <path to your jar files> HelloServlet.java

Is there anything in the servlets FAQ?
