If other applications (using other packages) compile correctly, then your
classpath is correct and the problem then is that you don't have installed
the servlet jar, or it is in the wrong place, which is
$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext/
The file I have is: servlet-2_3-fcs-classfiles.jar. I guess there could be
others, depending on your JDK version but the important thing is that this
jar is not bundled with the JDK.
