Cannot find package javax.servlet.*

Hi All,
I'm trying to run the "make all" in the Wrox J2ee bea book and am running in to errors that all seem to stem from the fact that the javax.servlet.* packages do not exist. After looking around it seems that this package should be in the weblogicaux.jar file. I do not have that jar file in my install. Anyone know where i can either get that weblogicaux.jar file or any file which has the javax.servlet packages. Any help would be much appreciated.

weblogic 5.1.0

That jar file should be located in %WebLogichome%\lib.

Where I can find the packages javax.servlet?

I am using the Jbuilder 5 and I need to do a programm with servlets but it says that it cannot find the javax.servlet although I know it has the package servlet..
..what can I do?

in your servlet runner the servlet.jar is normaly included. check if you find it on your hd. if no, you might get tomcat (jakarta.apache.org) the reference implementation for servlets. than, add the servlet.jar to your classpath.

Cannot fing the javax.servlet.*; package

Hi everybody.. I am new to J2EE Programming.. I just wrote a very small and simple Servlet to see how it works.. The Servlet is designed to take in the the name and a favourite color of a user via a HTML page and display it to him
Here is the code:
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class VerifyData extends HttpServlet
     public void doGet (HttpServletRequest reg, HttpServletResponse res) throws ServletException, IOException
          res.setContentType("text/html");
          PrintWriter out = res.getWriter();
          String name= req.getParameter ("name");
          String color=req.getParameter ("color");
          out.println("<html>");
          out.println("<head>");
          out.println("<title>Simple HTML Form</title>");
          out.println("<link rel='styleSheet' type='text/css' href='examples.css'>");
          out.println("</head>");
          out.println("<body>");
          out.println("<h1>Hello "+name+" Your favourite Color is : " +color+"</h1>");
          out.println("<form method='GET' action='verifydata'>");
          out.println("<p>Please Type in your name here:</p>");
          out.println("<input type='text' name='name'>");
          out.println("<p>Now select the color of your choice</p>");
          out.println("<select name='color' size='1'>");

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.

Package javax.servlet.http does not exist

Hello All,
A few problems here
1. My classpath doesnt seem to work.:
.;"C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\lib\servlet-api.jar"
2. As a result, i get many errors in my simple code, but there are still a few that are not related to javac not recognizing the servlet api.
I also tried setting the classpath at the command line (event hough its temporary)
set classpath="C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\lib\servlet-api.jar"
but the servlet package is still not recognized
I have 2 classes, one to read the database connection details from a file and another class, my servlet.

This time, I downloaded and followed step by step what the website said to do...it was even preconfigured for me!

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.

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

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.

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

Hi there,
I am running ANT and confronted this message:

    [javac] C:\eclipseProjects\tomcat_test\WEB-INF\src\WebTest.java:4: package javax.servlet does not exist

    [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

Hi..seems u r new to J2ee.. dont worry its a very small problem:

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,

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

Package javax.servlet.jsp does not exist.

dear all!
I've one program which import javax.servlet.jsp.* as one of the package to be used in
the program, and I am using j2sdk 1.4.0_01 to compiled it.
However I got this error message : package javax.servlet.jsp does not exist.
Where does it wrong?.

You need a J2EE implementation, I recomemend Tomcat, you also need to put the .jar w/ the implementation in in your classpath.

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.

Dear All,
I am a newbie to JAVA.
I installed JDK1.6.0_04, then NetBeans IDE 6.0

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.)

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.

You have to get a servlet/JSP engine. Step 1.Thank you for your help
