How to import javax.servlet.http.*

Dear all,
I'm trying to create an applet that writes (and later reads) a cookie from the clients local HDD. The first thing I run into is that I'm unable to import the nessecary class, which would be, I think, "javax.servlet.http.cookie". I'm using JBuilder 8.0 and every time I'm typing "import javax.servlet"
I get the message "cannot acces the directory "javax.servlet".
How should I troubleshoot this problem?
Regards Ronald

Dear Myself,
I solved the trouble. What I have done is I downloaded the enterprise 1.4 SDK and added the j2ee.jar to the JBuilder 8.0 JDK directories.
Problem solved.
Yippie....
Bye.

Custom Class file errors out on import javax.servlet.http.HttpSession

I am trying to write a class file to handle events. This is a test class file copied from the UIX Docs. When I put this in JDeveloper 903 ,and build it the compiler gives the error:
Error(2,27): cannot access class javax.servlet.http.HttpSession; file javax\servlet\http\HttpSession.class not found
I am not sure what is the problem? Can anyone please help?
Here is the code:--
package mypackage1;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpSession;
import oracle.cabo.servlet.Page;
import oracle.cabo.servlet.BajaContext;
import oracle.cabo.servlet.event.PageEvent;
import oracle.cabo.servlet.event.EventResult;
public class MyClass
/** This is handleStoreNameEvent version 1 */
public static EventResult handleStoreNameEvent(BajaContext context,
Page page,
PageEvent event)
String userName = event.getParameter("txt1");
HttpSession session = context.getServletRequest().getSession(true);
session.putValue("User Name", userName);
Page nextPage = new Page("NextPage");
return new EventResult(nextPage);
}

Hi, you are missing the servlet.jar file from your classpath.
In JDeveloper, you can add this by opening up your project -> libraries and adding the servlet runtime library.

How to import javax.servlet.....

I have a problem import javax.servlet.*.
I need a class file, but "can't import javax.servlet.*",so jcreator told me
package javax.servlet.* does not exist.
using:
jsdk 1.4.2
compile tools:
jcreator 2.5
Hope someone tell me what to do??
Thanks Advance!
fiorear

For JCreator, u also have to set it urself so it can be noticed when u complie servlets
Go to Configure --> options --> select JDK profiles --> select the current version of jdk u r using --> click Edit tab --> add in the directory where u put in ur servlet.jar file
Good luck.

Import javax.servlet.http.*

Wass working, now any import that is javax is not being recognised. Why?

Because the servlet API is not on your class path.

Importing of javax.servlet.http.* ???

I currently have a JSP page where I would like to remove someof the java script code and place within a processRequest mathod within the bean I am using. In doing so, I am assuming I need to import:
import java.beans.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
In order to create a method such as:
public void processRequest (HttpServletRequest request) {
// Get the name and e-mail.
this.processError = false;
if (name == null) setName(request.getParameter ("name"));
if (email == null) setEmail(request.getParameter ("email"));
if (name == null || email == null) {
this.processError = true;
return;
// Get the date.
String dateR = request.getParameter ("date");
if (dateR == null) date = JspCal.getCurrentDate ();
else if (dateR.equalsIgnoreCase("next")) date = JspCal.getNextDate ();
else if (dateR.equalsIgnoreCase("prev")) date = JspCal.getPrevDate ();
entries = (Entries) table.get (date);
if (entries == null) {
entries = new Entries ();
table.put (date, entries);
// If time is provided add the event.
     String time = request.getParameter("time");
if (time != null) entries.processRequest (request, time);
I could then use something like this within my JSP page to handle the processing of the request to the JSP page:
<%@ page language="java" import="cal.*" %>
<jsp:useBean id="table" scope="session" class="cal.TableBean" />
<%
     table.processRequest(request);
     if (table.getProcessError() == false) {
%>
My problem here is that the javax.servlet.* does not seem to be included within jdk1.3. Where can I find these so I can make use of them?
Thank you!

effectivly javax.servlet doesnot come with j2se 1.3 but you can download it here : http://java.sun.com/jsp (in subsection : "download reference implementation and specification")
however i bet that it is provided with every servlet engine you could download...

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

Javax.servlet.http.* error

I am trying to compile a file, but got the error message "package javax.servlet.http does not exist",
"import javax.servlet.http.*"
It seems to me that this particular package is missing. how and where exactlly do I get this particular package and make it to work??
thanks

As you are using the package I assume that you're targetting a servlet engine (such as Tomcat) or a J2EE server. The package is in servlet.jar which is part of the binary release of the container that you are using.
You can download containers from the following links:
http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/index.html
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/index.html

Importing javax.servlet.* ?????

I am trying to create a JSP page where in the bean code I am trying to import javax.servlet.http.*
For some reason it is saying that it does not exist. Could someone please give me detailed instructions on how to import this. Where do I get it from? Etc.?
Thank you!

Hi,
There are two possible places that you may be able to search. Either in the .servlet.jar and definitely in the j2ee.jar
Whichever of these you have access to, then try first by running your program as java -classpath c:\....\j2ee.jar
(obviously adding the path to j2ee.jar, or servlet.jar as is on your system).
If this works, then add this file to your classpath, and reboot.
best kev

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.

Javax.servlet.http.* package does not exist ?

i am using j2sdk which does not include servlets, so in the forums i found that including servlet.jar file in jdk1.6.0\jre\lib\ext javax.servlet.* was included but javax.servlet.http did not ..... now this is strange either both do not work or both work. here is the code
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.Http.*;
class login
error is package javax.servlet.Http.*; does not exist.

Dear,
javax.servlet is one of the J2EE (Java Enterprise Edition) packages that is not included in the J2SE (Java Standard Edition) , so that one used for developing server side application.
I hope this help.
Regards.

servlet.jar is not in your classpath. You should not get this error once you include this in your classpath.

Import javax.servlet.* gives error "package does not exist"

I am working through Monica Pawlan's book "Essentials of Java PL".
My PC runs Windows2000 prof. I have downloaded and installed j2sdk-1_3_1_01-win.exe in c:\jdk1.3.1_01
I have downloaded and installed tomcat4.0 (jakarta-tomcat-4.0.zip) into c:\jakarta-tomcat-4.0
CATALINA_HOME is set to c:\jakarta-tomcat-4.0 and CLASSPATH is set to .;C:\jakarta-tomcat-4.0\common\lib\servlet.jar
I can compile an applet starting:
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
//Class Declaration
class SwingUI extends JFrame implements ActionListener { ... }
but trying to compile my servlet starting:
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class ExampServlet extends HttpServlet { ... }
gives me the error (import javax.servlet.*) "package does not exist".
Any pointers on this immediate problem? and is my book out of date?
Many thanks,
James Towell

You downloaded the Java 2 SDK Standard Edition, but you need to also download the Enterprise Edition if you want to write programs that use enterprise features.

Cannot import javax.servlet

Hello,
I'm trying to write a javabean to use with in jsp code.
In the bean I need to use <code>HttpServletResponse and for this I need to add :
</code>import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
this throws me the exception : package javax.servlet does not exist.
CLASSPATH = .;D:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\lib\servlet-api.jar;D:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\lib\jsp-api.jar;D:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\lib\el-api.jar;
I have no idea where I need to include this class.
Thanks in advance for your help.

No idea about Netbeans, but in Eclipse you can just accosiate an application server with the web project, then it will automatically take its libraries (the javax.servlet and so on) in the buildpath.

Javax.servlet.* and javax.servlet.http.* don't exist???????

When I compile a class that hase the following import statements:
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
the compiler says that those packages don't exist, but I'm pretty sure that the do.
Does anybody knows what I could do wrong?
Nico

I am having the same problem. I have downloaded both jdk1.3.1_02 and j2sdkee1.3.1. I updated both my Path and CLASSPATH variables to include the path to the jdk1.3.1_02 bin, lib, and jre directories ... as well as the j2sdkee1.3.1 bin and lib directories. Isn't the javax.servlet package included with the j2sdkee installation? I had this working on a different machine a while back, and I'm almost certain these are the only downloads I had.
