Package javax.servlet not found error

package javax.servlet not found error. how it can be solved.
plz help this is my first servlet program.
vipin

You need a jar file that has in it the javax.servlet.* classes
It should be distributed with your servlet/jsp server.
It can normally be found in a /lib directory under the installation.
Some examples:
Tomcat4: install_dir\common\lib\servlet.jar
Tomcat5: install_dir\common\lib\servlet-api.jar; install_dir\common\lib\jsp-api.jar
J2sdkee: install_dir/lib/j2ee.jar
You need to include this jar file in your classpath when you compile any servlet.

Package javax.ejb not found error

Hi there,
I've downloaded j2se 1.4 and j2ee 1.3.1 and installed it on Windows XP. I set the environment variables as described. When I compile a .java file that imports the javax.ejb.* package, then I get an error "package javax.ejb not found". I feel like an idiot and I know it's something to do with the environment variables. (or just XP, most likely)
Thanks in advance
Hoenner

How are you compiling your source? If you're using an IDE then you should edit your project classpath to include the j2ee.jar file (it'll probably be in the lib directory of your J2EE installation).
If you're doing it from the command line then type in SET CLASSPATH, look at the classpath it returns and check that it includes the j2ee.jar file.
Hope this helps.

Package javax.servlet not found in sdk 1.4.0_01

Hi,
Please correct me if i'm wrong. I was using j2sdk 1.3.1 (standard edition) and have recently upgraded to j2sdk1.4.0_01. I can't find the javax.servlet package in the API. I referred to the j2ee sdk and found the package there. Does it mean that I need to have both the j2sdk1.4.0_01 and the j2sdkee1.3.1 (j2ee) in order to be able to compile and run my codes?
Thanks.
Karen

The servlet packages don't come with the standard SDK.
You can get them from javasoft.com or if you use the
Tomcat server they come packaged in a jar file called
servlet.jar

Compiling servlets - package javax.servlet not found

I can't seem to get the previous questions on this topic - get a page error. I've recently installed j2ee1.4 and j2sdk1.4.1_01 on Win98. I think I've set the CLASSPATH and PATH correctly (and JAVA_HOME). What have I missed?

servlet.jar in your classpath...

Package javax.swing not found in import!

I recently installed JDK 1.3.1_02 on WinNT4.0 and I cannot compile javax
packages without getting the following error:
Package javax.swing not found in import
I've tried every combination of modifying the CLASSPATH system variable
I can think of. I have no problem compiling java packages but not
javax packages. I followed the installation instructions to the letter.
What am I missing? Surely someone is running the same version of
the JDK I am on WinNT 4.0.

Thanks again!!! I had an older version of javac running on my system any time I ran
outside of the bin where the latest javac was installed. I removed the older version
of the jdk and now I can compile from any directory. I really appreciate the help,
I was wracking my brain.
By the way, -version is not a valid flag for javac.exe, although it is for java.exe.
signed,
grateful in cyberspace

Package javax.mail not found in import.

hi,
i am trying to develop a mail application using jsp, i have jaf1.0.1 and javamail API and the application was working fine on weblogic but when i tried to do the same thing on Apache server the Package javax.mail not found in import. is occuring,
What could be the problem can any one explain...
Thanks

I think you have not placed mail.jar and activation.jar files in the /jre/lib/ext directory. Just place the mail.jar and activation.jar files in the jdk's /jre/lib/ext directory and check out. This will work for you.

Servlet not found error

Hi everyone,
i am trying to write a chat application using applet,servlet and RMI.
so i have my servlet and aaplets accordingly...
but when i put my servlet and applets in their respective folder of tomcat,i am getting and error..which is as follows....
Resource not found: http://10.0.2.65:8080/servlet/ChatServlet
The configuration that i am using is:
1)win XP
2)Tomcat5.1
3)JDK 1.5
my servlet file is 'ChatServlet.class',which is placed in a package(or folder) called 'servlet'...
so i have place the whole package(servlet) in WEB-INF...
and the mapping that i have given in web.xml is as follows:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>ChatServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>ChatServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>ChatServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/ChatServlet</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
NOW is that mapping correct??
Do you find anything wrong in the way i have put my files in Tomcat??
and also if possible please tell me for what is these mapping in web.xml used??
thanx in advance

thanx a lot for the reply...
i did put the full class name of the servlet....but had no success....
now my maaping is as follows:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>ChatServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>servlet/ChatServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>ChatServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/ChatServlet</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

Javax.servlets not found

when i try to import the javax.servlet's, it is not found... any idea where i can go toget that? i downloaded the seperate elipse for J2EE and tried it on there, and i also tried it on the eclipse for regular java developers.
thanks
update: it turns out that eclipse has a # of requirements that it needs to get the WTP, i'll appreciate any assistance in directing me toward the files.
Edited by: ixxalnxxi on Jun 17, 2008 3:30 AM

No, you need to specify the application server in the eclipse project. Then it will take its libraries in the build path.
You may find this tutorial useful, you can just skip the JSF part if you aren't planning to use it: [http://balusc.blogspot.com/2008/01/jsf-tutorial-with-eclipse-and-tomcat.html].

Package javax.faces not found

Hi,
I tried to import the package javax.faces.* but it can not be resolved. Do I have to download this package myself? I'm using jre1.5.
Thanks!

JSF isn't part of core Java. You need to download it separately, in a number of ways, and then include it in your compile-time classpath, and put it somewhere your container can get hold of it, too

IsItWorking Servlet not Found Error

Hi All
After i installed the Oracle 9i App Server on win2k Server , when i tried to access the IsItWorking Servlet through the jserv engine using the following URL
http://localhost:7778/servlet/IsItWorking , I get the following error in the error log of the Apache WebServer.
File does not exist: /servlet/IsItWorking
What could be the problem? The configuration files ,jserv.conf,jserv.properties and zone.properties havent changed.
can someone pls help.
Thanx in advance.

Thanx Andrew for the reply.
I tried to search for the entry orcladmin and the search fails with an Error code 106(Search criteria doesnt match any entries.This bamboozled me completely as iam logged into the OID thru ODM but cant find the orcladmin entry...something bad....
Then I relaised that my SSO COnfiuration Assistant/Internet Directory Configuration Assistant must have failed.
This is what is happening.
My Oracle Internet Directory Server(OID) is running on port 389(non-ssl default) and the configuration assistants are trying to connect to port 4032.
I Tried 2 WorkArounds which failed
WorkAround 1: Tried Runnning the OID on port 4032
I tried to run the OID on port 4032 using
(oidctl connect=iasdb server=oidldapd instance=1 flags='-p 4032' start)
but it fails.I could see it from the LDAP LOGS ($ORACLE_HOME\ldap\logs\oidmon.log)..The OID Monitor just adds that instance and deletes it from the registry as it is unable to start the OID Server..
But other instances could be started on port 389 though...
WorkAround 2:
I tried to run the SSOConfigAssistant from the command line as :
java -jar D:\oracleinfra\sso\lib\ossoca.jar D:\oracleinfra orasso orasso
hydtrn01.mydomain.com 389 "orcladmin" welcome hydtrn01.mydomain.com 1521
iasdb AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252
But this throws me off giving an error.
Failed to obtain OiD password. Exception is :java.lang.Exception: Version mismat
ch!.
Iam not sure wherez the SSoConfigAssistant getting the OID Passwd from...
Iam not sure as to how to proceed frm here other than Reinstalling...Also the Unistallation isnt clean as it leaves a lot of entries in the registry on win2k..
Any help would be mightly appreciated
Thanx in Advance.

Import javax.crypto not found error

Hi,
I have just installed the JDK1.7 on a windows machine.
Whenever I try to compile my module, I get an error on the import javax.crypto line. It tells me that it can't the javax\Crypto\Cipher.class.
I have the jdk installed on d:\glassfish3 and am pointing the classpath to d:\glassfish3\jdk7 (also tried d:\glassfish3\jdk7\jre as well) with no luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Thanks. Maybe I should explain a little better.
I am using JBuilder 2006 to my IDE. This environment requires that you put in the path to the JRE/JDK.
I have uninstalled and downloaded the jdk again and this time i'm getting a strange error:
"test.java": cannot access javax.crypto.Cipher; bad class file: D:\Program Files\Java\jre7\lib\jce.jar\javax\crypto\Cipher.class, class file has wrong version 51.0, should be 49.0, Please remove or make sure it appears in the correct subdirectory of the classpath. at line 19, column 21
Now this is strange because i'm using the right library.
Is there something that I'm missing here?
Again, thanks for your help.

Javax class not found error.

First and formost, apologies if this is in the wrong forum.
I'm running NB 6.1 and trying to add the new kewl mysql features to my servlet. It automatically added all the code and inserted imports for javax.
For some reason it says that it can't find the following classes:
import javax.persistence.CascadeType;
import javax.persistence.Column;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.NamedQueries;
import javax.persistence.NamedQuery;
import javax.persistence.OneToMany;
import javax.persistence.Table;However it does recognise that javax.persistence exists.
I've tried running it with both jdk 5 & 6 with no luck.
I'm sure Javax is inbuilt, Is there something I'm missing?

Ok, the classes are included if the glassfish server is running, since I'm running Tomcat I created a library with all the classes in it and added it to my project.
I was then able to use the entity classes I created with no bother.
Then I proceeded to install RESTful webservices. and add the restfull webservices to the project.
Now if I run/debug the main project, it doesn't run my main servlet!!!
When running test Restful webservices I receives: Cannot acces WADL: Please restart your RESTfull webservices and reload this page.
How do I get the project to run the orginal servlet now and bypass the restfull web service?
How do I fix the Restfull problem

Import javax.mail not found

Hello,
I am new to Java Mail. I wanted to test my first programme. When I compile, I get this errors.
package javax.mail not found in import and so on. I have set my classpath to so
set classpath = %classpath%;C:\j2sdk1.4.0\lib\mail.jar;C:\j2sdk1.4.0\lib\activation.jar
I included the mail.jar,smtp.jar and activation.jar in the lib directory of my jdk e.g c:\j2sdk1.4.0\lib\ "the jar file".
Can any one tell me what I am missing here?
Thanks
James

the easiest way to do this is to put
activation.jar
mail.jar
mailapi.jar
imap.jar
smtp.jar
pop3.jar
into the virtual machine directory C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3.1\lib\ext
or the lib\ext directory of whatever virtual machine you are using
and put coppies of them in JDK
C:\j2sdk1.4.0-beta3\jre\lib\ext
or jre\lib\ext
of whatever JDK you are using
this way they are found automaticaly
no need for classpath

Hi,
The file servlet-api.jar / servlet.jar is not available in your classpath.
To compile an Servlet you need the jar file to be in classpath.
The jar file can be found in your webserver / application server lib folder.

Zack
