Download j2ee is recommended to solve any compling such as servlets and swing
http://java.sun.com/j2ee/download.html
Once done all you do is include j2ee.jar and you have xml, servlets, rmi the works!! :)
However since you download the servelet component only, search in you hard drive for ".jar" file.
You can open the .jar file with a WinZip and you can check if it as javax.servlet.http.* by looking at the far right for javax/servlet/http
Once you know the jar file to include. Next is to put it in the classpath. The most simple way using NT example, how Windows 95/98 is similar. Go to:
Control Panel -> Double Click on System -> Click on Environment tab
Type below in Variable: CLASSPATH
Type in Value: PATH TO SERVLET;.;
Don't forget the ;.; (the dot for currnet path to run)
If you need to add more to the classpath, seperate by classpath.
Log off and log back in as your user. No need to reset the machine.
The system will pick the new CLASSPATH.
Test on dos as "echo %CLASSPATH%" to see what its set to.

How to compile java to exe by JDeveloper?

How to compile java to exe by JDeveloper?

You used to be able to use exegen to generate stand alone executables for Windows, but this no longer works in later versions of Windows. It works for Windows 98 and NT. For example
exegen/main:schedserv /out:sched.exe schedserv.class scheduler.class
will generate the executable sched.exe from the two class files.

Compiling Java Servlet with Depricated Methods

I have a problem of compiling Java servlets that contain depricated methods. If you compile against modern version of servlet.jar I see depricated methods error messages and if I use a very old servlet.jar it cannot find newer methods. What is is the best solution in this case?
Thank you,
Boris.

The best thing to do would be compile your code with the -depreciated option to find which methods have been depreciated and the refactor your code to remove them.
The next best thing is to ignore the messages (they are warnings not errors) and your code should still work

I have included the servletapi2_1_1-win package from the sun site containing the servlet.jar in my classpath. Still it refuses to compile. Besides does anybody know how to compile using the servlet packages available in Tomcat or j2ee, both of which I have on my machine , but can't figure what to include.
Please help.

have you actually included the servlet.jar file in your classpath or just the directory, as you need to explicity declare jar files in the classpath...
javac -classpath %CLASSPATH%;C:\[servlet-jar-path]\servlet.jar Servlet.class

Now How i can compile the java files and convert in to class files.Then after compiling the files i will again need to jar all the 7 folder.
Please tell me the steps i need to follow.How to write an build.xml file ? where i should keep it ? only one build.xml file is enough or should i write 7 build.xml file for each folder ? Please help me out...

How to compile .java to .class in .jar file

Hey. I have code to make a .jar file, read .java files, and save them as .class files in the .jar file. When I open the .jar file, it says that the magic numbers on the classes are wrong. So I figured that Java must compile the .java files to .class files in bytecode.
Question: What's the code to compile a string from a .java file to a .class file?
Here's my code:
try {
            // Name of jar file to write
            String archiveFile = Name + ".jar";
            Manifest jman = new Manifest();
            try {
                // Create a manifest from a file
                //InputStream fis = new FileInputStream("manifestfile");
                //Manifest manifest = new Manifest(fis);
                // Construct a string version of a manifest
                StringBuffer sbuf = new StringBuffer();
                sbuf.append("Manifest-Version: 1.0\n");
                sbuf.append("Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.7.1\n");
                sbuf.append("Created-By: 1.5.0_19-137 (Apple Inc.)\n");
                sbuf.append("Main-Class: Main\n");
                sbuf.append("Class-Path: lib/swing-layout-1.0.3.jar\n");
                sbuf.append("X-COMMENT: Main-Class will be added automatically by build\n");
                // Convert the string to a input stream
                InputStream is = new ByteArrayInputStream(sbuf.toString().getBytes("UTF-8"));
                // Create the manifest
                jman = new Manifest(is);
            } catch (IOException e) {
            FileOutputStream stream = new FileOutputStream(archiveFile, true);// archive file is jar file name
            JarOutputStream out = new JarOutputStream(stream, jman);
            out.putNextEntry(new JarEntry("Main.class"));
            StringBuffer sbuf = new StringBuffer();
            sbuf.append(readTextFromJar("Main.txt")));
            out.write(sbuf.toString().getBytes("UTF-8"));
            out.closeEntry();
            out.putNextEntry(new JarEntry("MainScreen.class"));
            sbuf = new StringBuffer();
            sbuf.append(readTextFromJar("MainScreen.txt"));
            out.write(sbuf.toString().getBytes("UTF-8"));
            out.closeEntry();
            out.putNextEntry(new JarEntry("GCanvas.class"));
            sbuf = new StringBuffer();
            sbuf.append(readTextFromJar("GCanvas.txt"));
            out.write(sbuf.toString().getBytes("UTF-8"));
            out.closeEntry();
            out.close();
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this, ex.toString(), "BUG!", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);

So I'm guessing that none of you guys have the knowledge on how to compile a java application within a java application. I was thinking that it had something to do with javac... but I'm unsure.
If no one can answer the question, could someone point me to an expert who would know?

How can make java servlet sent soap message to other java web application

hello,
i want to make simple servlet send soap message to other java web application containing web service????
for example
web application " A " contain web service add two number
java servlet " B " send soap message contain num1 and num2 to A to add them.
how can do this????

I tried that but my problem is that the code is so old. At least what I saw. I don't know how old is too old and I'm trying to do things "right." I saw code from 1998, but I don't know if that's still what you do. It might still work, but that doesn't mean it's correct. There's so much out there on Java that so old that half the time I'm not sure what to do because some other technology in J2EE or the latest Java SDK might have come up with a new way to do things. Thanks.

Compiling java servlet programs

i have Tomcat 5.0 and SDK 1.5 . I am able to compile java programs. But in servlet programs the compiler is unable to recognize the javax.servlet package(the code below). I have pushed all the JAR files of TOMCAT to the CLASSPATH . But nothing has changed.
javax.servlet.*;
javax.servlet.Http.*;

hi,..
javax.servlet.Http.*; should be javax.servlet.http.*; !
even though you have put the jar files in the classpath .. does it point to servlet-api.jar ? if it does.. it should work. Also try out specifing the classpath using the -cp while compiling the servlet program .

Those packages do exists.
You just need to especify the JAR file where they are located in your classpath when compiling.
Those packages are not part of the Java 2 Standard Edition (J2SE). Download the Enterprise Edition SDK (J2EE SDK) and use the servlet.jar when compiling.

How to compile java programs in j2EE 1.4 SDK

hi,
i HAVE JUST INSTALLED NEW J2EE 1.4 SDK , IT HAS BEED INSTALLED SUCCESFULLY BUT I AM UNABLE TO COMPILE JAVA PROGRAMS WHICH I USED TO RUN IN SDK 1.4 ,OR EVEN NEW WRITTEN EXAMPLES. CAN ANYONE PLZ HELP ME.

J2EE by itself is not capable of compiling Java. It requires that a J2SDK be installed first - this is what compiles and runs Java programs. Did you install the combination J2SDK and J2EE, or just the J2EE?
If both are installed, then you should be able to compile and run as you used to..
