problem in compilation of servlet in apache-tomcat

[Himanshu Daurbi]

Hello friends,
I am using apache-tomcat 5.5.17 and jdk 1.6 . I have already set path of jdk using environment variable. I am deploying a servlet on it after starting server. I have already made directory structure in desktop. I am compiling my program using statement in command prompt.

C:>cd Users\him\desktop\project //here is my directory structure
C:>javac - classpath \Users\him\applications\tomcat 5.5\common\lib\servlet-api.jar;classes:. classes src\com\example\web\myservlet.java

and I'm getting error like this----
javac : invalid flag: 5.5\common\lib\servlet-api.jar;classes:.


I'm waiting for your response and thanks in advance...........

Have you got a space after the -?
Have you got a space before 5.5? If you need a space before 5.5, then the whole classpath should be enclosed in "quotes".
