"asant build" for bookstore1 example in j2ee tutorial gives "compile error"

Question

Hello everybody,
I am trying to run "asant build" command to build package for bookstore1 example given in j2ee tutorials.
I installed my j2ee tutorial 1.4 in "c:\java\j2eetutorial14" and my example is in "c:\java\j2eetutorial\examples\web\bookstore1".
My j2ee SDK with appliation server is installed in C:\sun\appserver.
When i run the "asant build" command in "c:\java\j2eetutorial\examples\web\bookstore1" directory i get compile error with last few lines as follows.
[javac] location: class servlets.ShowCartServlet
[javac] } catch (BookNotFoundException ex) {
[javac] ^
[javac] C:\Java\j2eetutorial14\examples\web\bookstore1\src\servlets\ShowCartServlet.jav

[javac] symbol : class ShoppingCartItem
[javac] location: class servlets.ShowCartServlet
[javac] ShoppingCartItem item = (ShoppingCartItem) i.next();

When i run the "asant build" command in
"c:\java\j2eetutorial\examples\web\bookstore1"
directory i get compile error with last few lines as
follows.Did you package the bookstore common files as described in Chapter 3? My guess is that you didn't include bookstore.jar from <INSTALL>/j2eetutorial14/examples/build/web/bookstore/dist/.
