Me thinks you may be starting a little at the deep end in that case. You would probably do better to get comfortable writing simple applications in java before you get into the more complex stuff (such as servlets and frameworks etc...). An IDE is an "integrated development environment". A very good (& free) one is Eclipse. (www.eclipse.org) If your just starting out with Java then its good to learn to code without an IDE first to get a feel for whats going on and how all the classpath stuff works (as your discovering, it can be quite troublesome at times!!!), but once your past the learning stage and writing real programs you will find an IDE very helpful and a big time saver. Which book are you reading? -----Original Message----- From: Nasrin Hafezparast [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 6 January 2004 20:29 To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: RE: error Thanks for your reply. I already had servlet.jar in my system variables classpath -(and I'm using tomcat). What did you mean by struts-jarS ? I added all the .jar files from struts to my lib folder of my application. But no change in the errors. I don’t know what an IDE is - I'm quite new to struts and programming.

Package org.apache.struts.action does not exist Import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm; Package javax.servlet.http does not exist Import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse; There are many more similar errors. I have included the struts.jar file from the Jakarta-struts/lib folder in the classpath. I have added all the .tld files, web.xml and struts-config.xml in the WEB-INF folder of my application I have added the struts.jar file to the lib folder in my application In the classes folder I have put ApplicationResources.properties Web-inf/classes/com/example contains the java files I want to compile This is an example from a book I am learning from and I have followed everything exactly. Can anyone advise me on what I am doing wrong? Thanks --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
