javac compiling problem

[Larry Frissell]

I am working on the HeadFirst Servlets, but my problem does not appear to be a servlet problem. I have been compiling files without any problems up to this point. I am trying to compile MyServletContextListener which is giving me errors because it can not find the Dog class. I have complied the Dog class without errors.

Terminal command with errors

DAD$ javac -classpath /Users/Dad/tomcat/lib/servlet-api.jar:clases:. -d classes src/com/example/MyServletContextListener.java
src/com/example/MyServletContextListener.java:9: cannot find symbol
symbol : class Dog
location: class com.example.MyServletContextListener
Dog d = new Dog(dogBreed);
^
src/com/example/MyServletContextListener.java:9: cannot find symbol
symbol : class Dog
location: class com.example.MyServletContextListener
Dog d = new Dog(dogBreed);
^
2 errors

Dog Class which compiles fine

 package com.example;

public class Dog{
private String breed;
public Dog(String breed){
this.breed = breed;
}
public String getBreed(){
return breed;
}
}   

MyServletContextListener which is not compiling

  package com.example;
import javax.servlet.*;


public class MyServletContextListener implements ServletContextListener{
public void contextInitialized ( ServletContextEvent event){
ServletContext sc = event.getServletContext();
String dogBreed = sc.getInitParameter("breed");
Dog d = new Dog(dogBreed);
sc.setAttribute("dog", d);
}
public void contextDestroyed (ServletContextEvent event){
}
}

Found my problem, classses was spelled wrong in the terminal command.
