Complation error: nheriting a user defined Servlet

Question

Hi,
I have a servlet class(FortuneBrat) which is inheriing
from CoreServlet:
CoreServlet class:
import javax.servlet.*;
import java.io.*;
abstract public class CoreServlet extends GenericServlet{
private static final int UNINITIALIZED = 0;
private static final int INITIALIZED = 1;
private static final int DESTROYED = 2;
private int m_state = UNINITIALIZED;
public final void init(ServletConfig cfg) throws ServletException {
if(m_state==UNINITIALIZED) {
super.init(cfg);
init();
m_state=INITIALIZED;
public void init () throws ServletException { }
public final void destroy ( ) {
if(m_state != DESTROYED) {
m_state= DESTROYED;
try {
cleanup();
catch(ServletException se) {
CharArrayWriter cw = new CharArrayWriter ();
PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter (cw);
se.printStackTrace(pw);
log (cw.toString());
protected void cleanup () throws ServletException{}
public final boolean isUnitialized() {
return (m_state== UNINITIALIZED);
public final boolean isInitialzaed ( ){
return (m_state== INITIALIZED);
public final boolean isDestroyed ( ) {
return (m_state == DESTROYED);
}& the FortuneBrat class which is inheriting CoreServlet
import javax.servlet.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class FortuneBrat extends CoreServlet{
private Vector fortunes;
private int current;
protected void init ( ) throws ServletException {
fortunes = new Vector ( );
fortunes.addElement("Learn Java Now");
current = 0;
public void Service (ServletRequest req, ServletResponse res) throws ServletException, IOException{
PrintWriter pw= res.getWriter();
pw.println(getFortune());
pw.close();
public String getFortune() {
if (current >= fortunes.size ( )) {
current=0;
return (String) fortunes.elementAt(current++);
public void addFortune(String fortune) {
fortunes.addElement(fortune);
}The error which I am getting is that its not recognizing CoreServlet class.
I hope I would get a quick response in this regard.
Zulfi.

I'm afraid you will have to give more details. For example, how about posting a copy of the Error/Exception?
