You have to set the classpath to refer servlet-api implementation in order to compile the servlet. (e.g.: javac -cp <Tomcat6Home>/lib/servlet-api.jar <source files>)

Note that you don't need both J2EE SDK (probably the IDE if you are referring to that here may required) and Tomcat to do this...

@abhay:Vijitha is correct.
Include try,catch block or write ServletException in throws clause .

Can you show us the command you tried to compile and the errors you get now?

[abhay jain]

sorry i have closed that window .. but i have compiled it successfully .. actually i tried (as you suggested) a new way and it was as follows

:
i created a batch file to compile every java program [path was : D:\Sun\AppServer\lib\j2ee.jar ]
then i put both java and that batch file in a directory


THANKS A LOT MY FRIEND

[abhay jain]

i am sure there some thing that i am missing but what is that ???

D:\>javac -classpath "D:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\lib
\servlet-api.jar" Welcomserv.java



Welcomserv.java:4: cannot access javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet
bad class file: D:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\lib\servl
et-api.jar(javax/servlet/http/HttpServlet.class)
class file has wrong version 49.0, should be 48.0
Please remove or make sure it appears in the correct subdirectory of the classpa
th.
public class Welcomserv extends HttpServlet

Try using this

D:\>javac -classpath "D:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\lib" Welcomserv.java
