Servlets?

Baldy

hey lads,

I've been having a lot of problems compiling a servlet with j2ee, jdk1.4 and Tomcat 4.1.18 I know the code is grand it's just that I've forgotten how to set classpaths and for the compiler. Any Idea what I have to set to get the servlet to complied or if there is any *.jar that I need to include in the compile command.

Cheers in Advance
Mike

Not too sure about tomcat 4.x, but 3.x versions had a mode of the tomcat batch file that set the classpath variable. It's called env.

So it's "tomcat env". Or you could just browse through the lib directory and add the ones you need.

If your using J2EE, just include the j2ee.jar on the classpath, or you can also include servlet.jar which is in tomcat4/common/lib

Stark

make sure you include the actual filename of j2ee.jar or servlet.jar in your classpath, not just the directory

eg:

/usr/local/tomcat/common/lib/servlet.jar

as opposed to

/usr/local/tomcat/common/lib/

There is a CLASSPATH environment variable

set it to

.:/usr/local/tomcat/common/lib/servlet.jar for a unix based system(note the period at the start this is the current directory)

or just

c:\tomcat\common\lib\servlet.jar for windows
