Brand new and can't start

[Simon Ingram]

Hi folks,
I am just starting with EJB and Kathy and Bert's EJB book. I have been to Sun and downloaded J2EE 1.3.1. (I already had SDK 1.4.1.) I followed the set up instructions, that is set the environment variables J2EE_HOME to c:\j2sdkee1.3.1 and the path variable to c:\j2sdkee1.3.1.\bin (I am on Windows XP) and then tried to compile the first program. The compiler tells me package javax.ejb does not exist. It doesn't like the import statement! Clearly a set up problem but after several hours of faffing around with the sun installation instructions I am none the wiser.
Would some kind soul please help!
regards
Simon

you have to add j2ee.jar to your classpath while compiling. Then the error should disappear. You can do this with
javac -classpath (can also be cp ) $YOUR_LOCATION_OFJ2EE.JAR $YOURCODE.
Simply replace $YOUR_LOCATION_OFJ2EE.JAR with a path pointing to j2ee.jar (normally you find one in your app server lib dir) and then it should work

Thanks a lot guys! I knew it was something simple, but without your help I would never have found the problem.
