The servlet is part of a package in the webapp. I use NetBeans 4.1, and
I've linked all lib and class folders under Tomcat and under the webapp
into the compile classpath and still fail.
No class named MultipartRequest has ever, to my knowledge, been part of
the servlet spec proper (see, e.g.
http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/2.2/javadoc/index.html), although I
suppose some implementation might have tried to make such a thing
available as a convenience (if they did it under the javax.servlet
package, that would have been a very bad idea).
I don't know how your code got the way it is, but I don't think that
list of imports is going to find a class named MultipartRequest with any
set of jars I know of; if you can't find that class in any of the jars
you have available to you and the existing application is running
without falling over, then presumably the servlet referencing the
missing class is never getting called anyway.
Googling and a previous reply to you suggests the most likely candidate
for the original source of the MultipartRequest is the
com.oreilly.servlet package, which is usually packaged up as cos.jar and
is available at http://www.servlets.com/cos/
