You need to include the server API jar from your container in your build.

I've moved this to the Beginning Java forum where learning how to compile is discussed.

[Avinash Ga]

have a servlet-api.jar in your classpath while compiling and deploy the compiled servlet in any of the container.

also have a look at.
