It will otherwise default to the current folder which is included as . in the above example. The ; is the path separator for Windows; if you're using an Unix based OS, then you need to use : instead. share|improve this answer answered Feb 8 '12 at 12:26 BalusC 685k21024832698 1 true, but in the future consider using maven to solve this kind of problems for you –Kris Feb 8 '12 at 12:44 5 Or just an IDE like Eclipse. I'd however recommend continuing learning the hard way until you can almost dream it. Otherwise it will be hard to understand how IDEs work under the covers. –BalusC Feb 8 '12 at 12:46 thanks BalusC. it solved the problem. –Karadous Feb 8 '12 at 12:55 add a comment| Did you find this question interesting?

How to check it depends on what IDE you are using. Probably the Tomcat libraries are not included. –bdares Oct 5 '11 at 18:34 You don't say where or how the error occurs, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7665955/package-javax-servlet-http-does-not-exist so helping will be... tricky. –Dave Newton Oct 5 '11 at 18:34 Does not exist where?

The CLASSPATH variable specifies where the java compiler should look for java class file resources. If it does not know to look in the javax directory, then it will never find the file(s) you are after. share|improve this answer answered Oct 5 '11 at 18:35 ashutosh raina 3,38962666 where is the javax directory? –Andrew Oct 5 '11 at 18:36 2 C:\Program Files\Tomcat-3.2.3\lib\servlet.jar –ashutosh raina Oct 5 '11 at 18:38 Assume that you have tomcat location like: c:\tomcat at the command promt type: set classpath=c:\tomcat\lib\servlet.jar –ashutosh raina Oct 5 '11 at 18:40 just extra advice any 3rd party library u might use will need to go into WEB-INF\lib and then ,restart tomcat –ashutosh raina Oct 5 '11 at 18:42 add a comment| Did you find this question interesting?

Error using Eclipse and Ant Suppose you are working on a web application project with Eclipse IDE, Apache ant and Tomcat server. When you compile and run the program you will get the following error saying that Servlet.jar API cannot be found. Package javax.servlet does not exist This error will get even if the servlet.jar API is available in the lib directory of the Tomcat web container. The reason for this error is you have not set the CLASSPATH environmental variable for referring javax.servlet API. In addition you have not set the Apache Ant run time class path to javax.servlet API.You can follow the instructions given below to set both the classpaths properly. 1. Setting up CLASSPATH environmental variable. Right Click on My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced tab -> Environment Variables(In that you can amend/create CLASSPATH environment variable to servlet.jar(In my case, CLASSPATH=C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Tomcat 6.0/lib/javax.servlet.jar ) 2. Setting up Apache Ant runtime classpath In addition, it is required to include the javax.servlet API (servlet.jar ) into the Apache Ant runtime. This can be done using your Eclipse IDE as follows.Click on Window menu -> preferences -> Ant -> Runtime -> Global Entries (In this location, you can add the servlet.jar API to the Apache Ant runtime as an external JAR file). if you follow the above instructions properly, you should be able to compile and deploy your web application without having such compilation error.
