Question java install help (heading towards tomcat)


javac -version = javac 1.5.0_03

java -version =
java version "1.5.0_03"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_03-b07)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_03-b07, mixed mode, sharing)

i have my basic java servlet saved as Hello.java

Code:
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;

public class Hello extends HttpServlet {

  public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
                               throws ServletException, IOException {

    res.setContentType("text/html");
    PrintWriter out = res.getWriter();

    String name = req.getParameter("name");
    out.println("<HTML>");
    out.println("<HEAD><TITLE>Hello, " + name + "</TITLE></HEAD>");
    out.println("<BODY>");
    out.println("Hello, " + name);
    out.println("</BODY></HTML>");
  }

  public String getServletInfo() {
    return "A servlet that knows the name of the person to whom it's" + 
           "saying hello";
  }
}

when i try to javac Hello.java it throws about 6-7 errors.
i'm not sure if its something i've installed, most likely the way its set up!

my errors are!

Code:
mark@dev:/var/www$ javac Hello.java
Hello.java:2: package javax.servlet does not exist
import javax.servlet.*;
^
Hello.java:3: package javax.servlet.http does not exist
import javax.servlet.http.*;
^
Hello.java:5: cannot find symbol
symbol: class HttpServlet
public class Hello extends HttpServlet {
                           ^
Hello.java:7: cannot find symbol
symbol  : class HttpServletRequest
location: class Hello
  public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
                    ^
Hello.java:7: cannot find symbol
symbol  : class HttpServletResponse
location: class Hello
  public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
                                            ^
Hello.java:8: cannot find symbol
symbol  : class ServletException
location: class Hello
                               throws ServletException, IOException {
                                      ^
6 errors
so its obviouslly not finding the java path.
can anyone give me a hand? i've been trying to fix this for a few days now, and i'm totally lost

you've got to set the classpath.
java -cp /usr/tomcat_directory/common(or server)/lib/servlet-api.jar hello.java.

In java you always have to specify the classpath for any external library you use.

I have the same problem eventhough I set the classpath
Quote:
echo $CLASSPATH
/opt/SUNWappserver/jdk/lib:/opt/apache-tomcat/common/lib:/opt/apache-tomcat/bin
if i do
Quote:
javac -classpath /opt/apache-tomcat/common/lib/servlet-api.jar servlet_test1.java
, then it works.
What did I do wrong?

I've just noticed that I'm in the Ubuntu forum. I've moved this post under software where it belongs.

you must explicitly set the path to the jar file, not just the directory

Talking

About this...
Over ubuntu 10.04 I had redefined:

/etc/enviroment with:
PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games"
CLASSPATH=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/bin:/usr/share/tomcat6/lib/(EVERY FUCKING JAR FILE IN THE FOLDER).jaretc...)
JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk
(EVERY FUCKING JAR FILE IN THE PATH)

and also /home/user/.bashrc with:
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk
export CATALINA_HOME=/usr/share/tomcat6
export CLASSPATH=/usr/share/tomcat6/lib/(EVERY FUCKING JAR FILE IN THE FOLDER).jaretc...)
export PATH=$PATH:$CLASSPATH:$CATALINA_HOME
(EVERY FUCKIN JAR FILE TOO)

But this has no success.

I'm trying to work in Netbeans 6.8, I still recieve the warnings...
Any tip?
