i am using jsp and mysql along with jdk1.3.1_08, tomcat, redhat linux, apache for my current project. i decided to use servlets to enhance my project and make it more efficient.
however, when i compile TestServlet.java, it generates 10 errors.
one of these errors say that 'package javax.servlet' doesn't exist.
i tried searching j2ee.jar but my search results turn up empty.
so i checked the documentation and this is what it says :
-----------------------------------------
Q: What do I need in my CLASSPATH?
A: All you need is a correct version of JDK (1.1.x or 1.2).
Since the JSP engine also uses 'javac' it needs to be in the CLASSPATH.
If you are using JDK 1.1.x it will automatically be included. If
you are using JDK 1.2 you will need to set JAVA_HOME to the directory
where JDK is installed or alternately you can put "tools.jar" in your
CLASSPATH.
All other classes, jar files that are needed, are put by the startserver
script and you don't need to worry about them.
Q: Where are the classes for JSPs and Servlets?
A: webserver.jar -- class files for Servlet Engine.
lib/jspengine.jar -- class files for JSP Engine.
lib/servlet.jar -- Public APIs for Servlet.
lib/jsp.jar -- Public APIs for JSP.
lib/xml.jar -- classes for parsing XML document
---------------------------------------
so i put xml.jar, servlet.jar and webserver.jar in my classpath along with tools.jar.
i tried searching for jspengine.jar and jsp.jar but my search results turn up empty. what should i do? btw, below is my classpath (if it's any help at all):
export CLASSPATH=/usr/local/jdk1.3.1_08/jre/lib/rt.jar:/usr/java/lib/tools.jar:/usr/src/jakarta/dist/tomcat/lib/servlet.jar:/usr/src/jakarta/dist/tomcat/lib/webserver.jar:/usr/src/jakarta/dist/tomcat/lib/xml.jar:
i know a bit about java like methods, events, classes but i don't know much about jars and servlets. i'm still new to them so pls don't get mad
thank u very much

Just a JSP Newbie =)
