Ok. I hate this. I can't get anything to work. I'm reading Head First:
Servlets &
JSP. I'm trying to make the first example work and I can't get the BeerSelect.java file to compile on my Windows XP machine.
Here's a copy of the command prompt I was just using with my input and the responses.
C:\WebDev\beerV1>javac -classpath C:\Tomcat\common\lib\servlet-api.jar:classes:.
-d C:\WebDev\beerV1\src\com\example\web\BeerSelect.java
javac: not a directory: C:\WebDev\beerV1\src\com\example\web\BeerSelect.java
Usage: javac <options> <source files>
use -help for a list of possible options
C:\WebDev\beerV1>javac -classpath C:\Tomcat\common\lib\servlet-api.jar:classes:.
-d src\com\example\web\BeerSelect.java

C:\WebDev\beerV1>javac -classpath \Tomcat\common\lib\servlet-api.jar:classes:. -
d \WebDev\beerV1\src\com\example\web\BeerSelect.java
javac: not a directory: \WebDev\beerV1\src\com\example\web\BeerSelect.java
Usage: javac <options> <source files>
use -help for a list of possible options
By the way, I did get the
java file to compile on my Linux server, BUT the Servlet wouldn't run on
Tomcat. It kept giving me a 404 error and saying that "/Beer-v1/form.html" isn't available even though I know for a fact it was. Tomcat was working and the form.html was showing just fine.
I'm so frustrated. If I could get thie stupid **** like this worked out, I could actually get started LEARNING
J2EE!
