CLASSPATH in Windows 2003 server

[Mathias Nilsson]

Hi Ranchers!
I have this stored in my Environment variables.
CATALINE_HOME
d:\tomcat4.0
JAVA_HOME
d:\jdk1.3
PATH
%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;D:\jdk1.3\bin;D:\jdk1.3\jswdk-1.0\lib\servlet.jar;D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\BINN;d:\tomcat4.0\common\lib\servlet.jar
Everytime when I'm about to compile a servlet I get a error. I must first write SET CLASSPATH=d:\tomcat4.0\common\lib\servlet.jar
I don't understand why since I have it in my environment variables. Does anybody know what's wrong.
By the way. I can compile java code not implementing the javax package.

because compiling servlets (and any other java classes) requires that your jar files be on your *classpath* (not path).

javac -classpath .;c:\tomcat\common\lib\servlet.jar MyServlet.java

The reason you can compile anything that doesn't use the javax. package, is because all the jdk classes are automatically available to you, without having to set anything specially in classpath.

and CATALINE should be CATALINA

Thanks!
Added CLASSPATH as environment variable and it works fine.

and CATALINE should be CATALINA

I spelled it correct in Environment but not here.
