Tomcat: package javax.servlet does not exist

I've just installed Tomcat with apache on RH9. Everything seems to work
except when I try to compile a servlet, I ge the error message:

Quote:

package javax.servlet does not exist

I have tis 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?
