Package javax.mail does not exist. Please Help !

Hi all,
I am new to Java and I downloaded some sample application and when I try to compile it, I get an error:
"package javax.mail does not exist".
I've looked through forums and I know something is wrong with CLASSPATHS and that I also have to download the java mail package, but I dont know how to exactly fix this problem. I would appreciate very much if someone could help me, maybe by telling me the steps I need to take.
Thanks.

Hey Rom,
Thanks for reply.
The sample application is an authentication module:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/security/jaas/tutorials/GeneralAcnOnly.html
But I think this doesnt really matter, as the error I get is because I have manually added the : import java.mail.*; statement. (Maybe I had to mention it in the previous post). Because I want to add some mail client inside.
I am compiling it using the command: javac, from the commandline menu.

Another person who doesn't understand how to set CLASSPATH.
Move those JARs into the same directory as your SendMailBean.java and do it like this:
javac -classpath .;mail.jar;activation.jar -d . *.java
java -classpath .;mail.jar;activation.jar SendMailBeanRead how to set CLASSPATH properly:

Package javax.mail does not exist (Still having trouble)

Good Morning
I know that there are several posts regarding issues with javamail. I have viewed them for the past hour. While several of them address my issue I have been unable to locate a solution.
Bare with me please, I am making this post very thorough. The other threads I have read are frusterating because the problems people tend to post are not clear.
I am trying to run "msgsend" which is a provided demo of javamail-1.4 using command prompt (start - run - cmd) with the javac command.

Here are the methods I have tried...
1. Make sure you have most current version of Java
2. Reinstall Java
3. Attempt to compile in an IDE (Attempted in Eclipse 3.2)
4. Set class path
Some sources suggest "CLASSPATH" some suggest "CLASS PATH" as the variable name. I have tried both.
Below is what the classpath looks like in bold.
Variable Name: CLASS PATH
Variable value: c:\download\javamail-1.4\mail.jar;C:\download\jaf-1.1\activation.jar;.
I have double checked all folder names and copy pasted all entries to eliminate typos. Javamail-1.4 and jaf-1.1 are both located in c:\download which is the same location Class Path points to.
Thank you very much for your input and effort. I can imagine how frusterating it is responding to 20million javamail posts :) (that may be a bit of an overstatement!)
Thank you again!

Yes - I have read that part of the README and did exactly as it has said in a previous attempt. I should have mentioned that here I'm sorry :)
I moved the .jar files into the download folder and set the classpath exactly as the readme shows.
When I do that the msgsend.java compiles correctly but it still does not run.
Below is what happens.
C:\download\javamail-1.4\demo>set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;c:\download\javamail-1.4
\mail.jar;%CLASSPATH%;c:\download\jaf-1.1\activation.jar.
C:\download\javamail-1.4\demo>javac msgsend.java
C:\download\javamail-1.4\demo>java msgsend.java
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: msgsend/java
C:\download\javamail-1.4\demo>
I have tried fixing this error as well via forums and FAQs but it seems to be the most generic error.
One suggestion was to clear your classpath. I tried this with a test hello world program which was giving the same error - "NoClassDefFoundError". By clearing the classpath I was able to get the hello world program to run without this error. But I can't just clear the classpath in this instance because it needs to point to mail.jar and activation.jar for the program to compile.
Thanks again for all of your efforts. You are more appreciated than you know.

6 errors please help what im doing wrong
i have latest ver.6 of tomcat installed

exchange the : in your classpath with a ;
windows, in its infinite wisdom, uses a semi-colon as the path separator. the colon is what you would use if you were on unix, macosx, or linux.

Package javax.servlet does not exist, package javax.servlet.http does not

Dear All,
I am a newbie to JAVA.
I installed JDK1.6.0_04, then NetBeans IDE 6.0
I tried compiling an example servlet, but got this error message:
package javax.servlet does not exist, package javax.servlet.http does not exist
I tried locating these packages, but in vain. I also tried setting the CLASSPATH to many values, still it did not work.
Can anyone, please, help me with this.
Should I be able to see/locate these packages, do I have to download them?
Thank you very much.

What servlet/JSP engine do you plan to deploy to? Tomcat, perhaps?I think it's Tomcat (C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache Tomcat 6.0.14). Are there other engines that come with NetBeans IDE 6.0 (when I downloaded NetBeans, I chose ALL)
>
If so, you'll need to put the servlet JAR in your CLASSPATH. (servlet-api.jar for Tomcat 5.5 and earlier, servlet.jar for 6.0 >and later.)
I tried locating these packages, but in vain.
You won't find them until you realize that you have to deploy that servlet someplace.How to deploy?
I also tried setting the CLASSPATH to many values, still it did not work.
See above. What were you planning to set CLASSPATH to?First I set to:
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache Tomcat 6.0.14\lib (because I found jar named servlet-api.jar in this folder)
Later I added this:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_04\lib (out of trial-and-fail)
Finally I added some paths that lead to a library such as
C:\Program Files\glassfish-v2\lib
C:\Program Files\glassfish-v2\lib\ant\lib
Can anyone, please, help me with this.
Should I be able to see/locate these packages, do I have to download them?
You have to get a servlet/JSP engine. Step 1.Thank you for your help

Error while compiling JMS example - package javax.jms does not exist

Dear All,
I am a newbie trying to use JMS. I have downloaded EE 5 SDK and installed (it contains Message Queue 4.1 as well). After the installation and going to some tutorials, I tried to compile the example 'SimpleQueueSender.java' which was downloaded from Sun website.
Before running the application, I made sure that I have set the classpath, path environment veriables correctly, but still I got the error "package javax.jms does not exist". I have searched internet for help and in all places I found people replying to similar issues. But I was not able to apply the solution as either the folder names or file names specified in the solution is different from what is existing in my system.
Please help me. Also could anyone help me in telling the pre-requisites to ensure a proper running of java application.
Thanks in Advance
Regards,
San

I'm not sure exactly what your JavaEE SDK installation contains (there are so many versions) but it will typically contain a Glassfish installation. Under the Glassfish installation, the imq directory contains all the files needed for MessageQueue.
The javax.jms package contains the JMS API interfaces. These can be found in jms.jar, which is typically in imq/lib. At runtime you will also need imq.jar from the same directory, which contains the implementation of these interfaces for MessageQueue.
Note that you will need to start a Message Queue server as well. EIther start a Glassfish server (which includes an embedded Message Queue broker), or (simpler) start a standalone Message Queue broker by running imqbrokerd (from the imq/bin directory).

the Kodo software, an may be I should configure it, but I don't know how. Can someone help me building the
Weblogic examples?
Thanks.

When compiling servlets etc, you need to include in your classpath a jar file with all the javax.* classes defined in it.
For Tomcat this is called servlet.jar and is in (I think) [TOMCAT_HOME]/shared/lib or /common/lib
For J2EE 1.4 Server, the jar is [J2EE_HOME]/lib/j2ee.jar
Where the _HOME directory is the directory where you installed J2EE.
Include this jar file in your classpath when compiling.
Good luck,

Javax.mail does not exist

I would like to thank warnerja for your advise about the classpath.
Thanks for the classpath information regarding the .jar files. Now when I start tomcat cat it runs appropriately. However I am still having a problem when i try to compile the message send demo. The message I get is javax.mail does not exist,(import javax.mail.) when I downloade the mail api I placed on the root of my D drive and i placed the mail and activation jar files in my lib folded of my Jakarta-3.2.1 lib folder. I graduated Chubb Institute back in october and am currently still looking for work so my memory but be a little fuzzy as to whether or not this is correct. Your help is greatly appreciated.

If you are just compiling the classes then you should check that the mail.jar file is in your compiler classpath. How you check and set it depends on how you are compiling it and on what system etc.

Package javax.servlet does not exists - Cannot resolve symbol

Hello,
I am using JDK 1.3.1.06 version. I wanted to compile a simple servlet using this. But I am getting plenty of errors for all javax package. Why it is not able to find javax package classes?
The following is the program I have tried to compile.
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.io.*;
public class TestServlet extends HttpServlet
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException
process(request, response);
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException
process(request, response);
private void process(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
out.println("Hello World !");
I am getting errors like this :
Package javax.servlet does not exists.
cannot resolve symbol
symbol : class HttpServlet
Please advice me some solutions fast.
Thanking you,
ForumAns.

javax.servlet doesn't come with the standard jdk. It's part of J2EE.
If you have tomcat, you can use the server.jar that comes with tomcat.
Or you can just download J2EE sdk instead.
I am getting errors like this :

Package javax.servlet does not exists ?

I am getting errors such as :
Package javax.servlet does not exists.

Please advice me of any solution asap. Deep trouble.
Thanking you,
Forumans.

Just a guess...
JDK 1.3.1.06 This represents the Java language in the form of a JVM and the Java API (like java.lang.String.)
ServletThis is in J2EE, which if you look above was not mentioned.
If you look in the java docs for the JDK you will also find that javax.servlet does not exist.
I would guess however that you could start here - http://java.sun.com/j2ee/
However, keep in mind that your servlet still needs to run in something, so you better make sure that you are compiling against the correct J2EE server for what you are doing.

Package javax.mail does no exist

Hi all,
I am new in JavaMail API. I have downloaded de API and the Java Activation FrameWork. Then I added to my classpath the activation and mail jar files, but when I try to compile I get the error "package javax.mail does no exist".
What am I doing wrong ?
Any help will be appreciated.

Try moving this thread to http://forum.java.sun.com/forum.jsp?forum=43
as that is the Java Mail forum. Thye might know more abut the different files to add to Classpath etc.

These are my environment settings (note that the JAVAX package is located under the src folder in Java)
Catalina Home:

CLASSPATH:

Any ideas (excluding the one that maybe I should let my hair grow out, put on some tackey shorts and sandles and start palying an instrument in the streets of Austin for living?)

You are then suggesting that I make the corrections directly to the files in apache using notepad instead of using the envir. variables?No I am not suggesting that. I am suggesting that you need to read the documentation about the product(s) and set them up the way they require, rather than blindly think that the CLASSPATH environment variable is some magical entity.
I will try this, but I was hoping that since my IDE auto configured (with exception to java_home) that I would not have to do this. I wil give it try....thanks for the suggestion.See, you're using an IDE. Like I mentioned, IDEs do not use the CLASSPATH environment variable. You need to set up your project in your IDE in such a way that it knows what the dependent jars are. I'm sure there's a way to add jars to your project's dependencies.

ANT script genrated error: package javax.servlet does not exist

Hi there,
I am running ANT and confronted this message:
    [javac] Compiling 1 source file to C:\eclipseProjects\tomcat_test
    [javac] C:\eclipseProjects\tomcat_test\WEB-INF\src\WebTest.java:4: package javax.servlet does not exist
    [javac] import javax.servlet.ServletException;
    [javac] ^I googled around and found this solution:
servlet-api.jar is the jarfile that contains javax.servlet.ServletException and javax.servlet.http.* which are imported by WebTest.java and must therefore be found in the classpath. If javac doesn't find this jar (or the javax.servlet packages), it will say (or shout, depending on my and javac's mood): [the error message]
well...I set in the classpath the location of the servlet-api.jar
(found at: C:\Tomcat\common\lib)
I set it with the environment variable (windows xp)
Just as it's shown here: http://www.cs.usask.ca/~wew036/latex/env-env.jpg
NOTHING :-(
could anyone assist, thanks

Package javax.jnlp does not exist

I have the following code inmy class file
public class ExtensionInstallerService implements javax.jnlp.ExtensionInstallerService {
protected ExtensionInstallerService() {
But I am getting the error message package javax.jnlp does not exist
Is this anything to do with the installation of Java Web Start.Should I try re-installing?

javax.jnlp is in jnlp.jar (see the developers bundle at :
http://java.sun.com/products/javawebstart/download-jnlp.html)
you need to include jnlp.jar in your classpath to use the jnlp api's. At runtime when running under Java Web Start these packages are exist in javaws.jar.
