Problem with import (CLASSPATH, JAVAPATH?)

hi

i use suse 9.2 (linux) and java 1.5

i have some environnement variable

Code:

JRE_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java/jre
JAVA_BINDIR=/usr/lib/jvm/java/bin
JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java
SDK_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java
JDK_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java
JAVA_ROOT=/usr/lib/jvm/java

i use tomcat

when i compile a java class with:

import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;

i get:

Code:

package javax.servlet does not exist
import javax.servlet.*;
^
package javax.servlet.http does not exist
import javax.servlet.http.*;

surely it's a classpath or javapath problem?

any idea?

The package javax.servlet.* should be in your classpath while compiling.
AFAIK This package is not included in Java 1.5 but is part if the tomcat package.
You should exapnd you classpath to include servlet.jar from tomcat,
or you could symlink the tomcat servlet.jar into your java directory (this should be $JAVA_HOME/lib)

Are you using an IDE, or compiling manually?
