Compilation issues: Cannot find in import

Question

Hi,
I am trying to compile some java code on a specific system, but I get following errors for almost every java file I try to compile:
% javac ABC.java
ABC.java:3: Class Session not found in import.
import Session;
^
ABC.java:4: Package javax.servlet.http not found in import.
import javax.servlet.http.*;
^
Is there a variable I am missing to set? I'd appreciate any help I can get on this issue.
Thanks,
Fauzia

^The rules have always stated that your not allowed to use unpackaged (or default packge) classes from packaged classes. This import is illegal. However, the sun compilers have only started enforcing it since 1.4
ABC.java:4: Package javax.servlet.http not found in
import.
import javax.servlet.http.*;
^This is almost certainly a CLASSPATH problem. It appears that you don't have the j2ee.jar in yours.
