hi, I know this is probably quite a basic question but I have been trying for ages to sort it out. Please help.
I have Windows XP home edition on my PC, and have Jakarta Tomcat 4.03 running with Java 2 sdk1.4.0. I find that I am having trouble compiling programs that have import statements similar to the following import javax.servlet.*; import javax.servlet.http.*; import java.io.*; import java.util.*; The errors are occuring with the servlet imports if I compile using javac login.java That is to say the two import statements below are failing import javax.servlet.*; import javax.servlet.http.*; The only way I can get the login.java program to compile is by using the following statement. javac -classpath "C:\Program Files\Apache Tomcat 4.0\common\lib\xerces.jar"; login.java I would really like to avoid having to use such a large statement. Can someone tell me what I need to do so that I can compile my program with a simple line. Surely there is something I can do so that the following will work javac login.java Yours desperately frustrated Laurence J Turpin
