I've been trying to compile a servlet that depends on the contents of
servlet.jar.

When I set my CLASSPATH to the directory that contains servlet.jar file
I get import errors stating :
--------------------
javac bruce.java
bruce.java:5: Package javax.servlet not found in import.
import javax.servlet.*;
--------------------

When I unpack the jar file I can compile without errors.

Now my question is: Is this the way things are supposed to work or is
there some way for javac to get the classes out of the jar without
unpacking them?

If not then I have a problem because when I unpack some .jar files I get
"Can't create directory" errors and I'm likely going to run into all
kinds of problems later on.
