What do you mean by "erroring"?

WP

In my Eclipse Galileo, it has a little X with a lightbult on this item in the left hand margin and when I hover above it is says:

ClientHttpRequest cannot be resolved.

Is this because it has to be named as an imported item on the servlet?

I am unsure. Can you help me interpret this error?

I would like to compile it and test it.

In Eclipse, click on the red X with the right-button, select Quick-Fix ..

What does it tell you?

WP

it said import that item.

Thanks!

Got it!!!

That was super easy compared to most of my postings!!!

Have a nice day!!!

Midani

You're welcome!
