It looks like it's not set correctly.

Hi ,

Thanks for the link. It's really very informative. But, please tell me which jar file(s) or class(es) is to be set in order to use the packages javax.servlet.* and javax.servlet.http.*

[Ben Souther]

The jar file is servlet-api.jar.

If you're using Tomcat 6.0 or higher it can be found in:
tomcat/lib

For 5x versions, it's in:
tomcat/common/lib
