hello people...
i've succesfully setup both jdk and apache-tomcat...
the problem is i'm unable to execute servlet programs...
all the class files given as examples are workin..
but when i give
javac greet.java // a servlet program
i'll get errors like.
cannot find superclass of greet HttpServlet
and etc like this for all those which i invoke from this HttpServlet...
i kno the problem may be with import....
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;

i tried to find servlet.jar on ma system but dint find it except for servlet-api.jar and servlet-2.3.jar...
anyways i added those also to classpath but dint work...
so anybody with some idea please help as to wat i should do...
thanks a lot....

Can you post what your path is and what version of the java sdk did you install?

ya sure....
my jdk path is /usr/lib/jdk (Java_HOME)
its jdk 5.0 update 16
and catalina home is
/usr/lib/apache-tomcat
its version 5.5....
i hope this is wat u asked.....

nope just do and echo $PATH and then post that.

its
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11

Looks like the problem is that the jdk is not in your path. You need to add to your Path. I think the command is PATH = $PATH:/usr/lib/jdk That should add it for you. But you might want to check my syntax for accuracy.
