Hey all!
I am trying to compile a Sample app PostXML.java and can't seem to compile.
I see that it can't seem to find the "commons-httpclient.jar and
commons-logging.jar" in the Classpath and even specify it with
the -classpath option, but it refuses to recognise them.
Any ideas/tips?? I have looked at and looked at it, another set of eyes
might help. I downloaded the httpclient.jar and loggin.jar from the HTTP
Client site.
Thanks!
