No. > ( I think there is something wrong with it ) Yes. Get and read "JavaTM Servlet 2.3 Specification" (servlet-2_3-fcs-spec.pdf) from http://www.jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/final/jsr053/, page 61: ------------ 8< ------------ A special directory exists within the application hierarchy named "WEB-INF". ... . The /WEB-INF/classes/ directory for servlet and utility classes. The classes in this directory must be available to the application class loader. . The /WEB-INF/lib/*.jar area for Java ARchive files. These files contain servlets, beans, and other utility classes useful to the web application. The web application class loader must be able to load classes from any of these archive files. ------------ 8< ------------ All other pages are helpful too. > Why cant the javac see the packages inside the jar files? > > I have also tried to use the javac -classpath C:\Program Files\Apache Tomcat > 4.0\webapps\cocoon\WEB-INF\lib HelloWorldAction.java command. It gives the > same error. First read http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/tooldocs/win32/classpath.html: ------------ 8< ------------ Paths to the .jar, .zip or .class files. Each path should end with a filename or directory depending on what you are setting the class path to: For a .jar or .zip file that contains .class files, the path ends with the name of the .zip or .jar file. For .class files in an unnamed package, the path ends with the directory that contains the .class files. For .class files in a named package, the path ends with the directory that contains the "root" package (the first package in the full package name). ------------ 8< ------------ Then continue with http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/tooldocs/win32/javac.html.
