It seams you are new to Java too. The error messages say that the compiler could not find the jar file javax.jar, or servlet.jar depends on your java version. The package statement at the first line is necessary to group java classes in domains that have the same functionality or fit tematiclly together. Like com.company.database // all database relevant classes com.company.gui // all gui relevant classes.
Furthermore i would recommend that you read a javabook or take the java trial at java.sun.com, it imparts the basics of java and some higher approaches. mfg Michael Nitschke -----Original Message----- From: Sayeed [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 27, 2004 9:19 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Java Class is not compiling Sir I am new to Tomcat.
