Javax.servlet cannot be resolved - HELP

I am using Eclipse to develop a Servlet application but Eclipse cannot resolve the javax.servelet package. Is there a special j2ee package I am suppose to download or do all the j2ee packages come with the JDK? I am running J2SE 1.5. I did not download the JDK seperately because I assumed in came with Eclipse.
What do I have to do so that Eclipse can resolve the javax.servlet package and all j2ee packages?

Do you mean that I have to define a new Environment
variable in WinXP that point to the location of
servlet.jar?no
>
I don't have a servelet.jar file BTW.servlet.jar is a part of the j2ee download so if you
just have j2se it may not be there.
it is bundled with tomcat also and should be in the
<tomcat home>common/lib directory.
it is also bundled with netbeans in the directory
<netbeans home>/tomcat/common/lib
you can download it from sun and add it in the java home lib directory

Javax.ejb cannot be resolved

Hey there, im using this code in my portal application:
import javax.ejb.CreateException;
Im using it to connect to a DataSource, but my NWDS keeps saying: Javax.ejb cannot be resolved. I tried several hints and tips from all over but i cant get it fixed. I added j2ee.jar to my classpath and to my NWDS config but nothing seems to work.
Any pointers?!

Hi Hans,
the javax.ejb.CreateException is located in the ejb20.jar
...usr\sap\[SID]\JC[InstNo]\cluster\server0\bin\ext\ejb20
for any kind of class location probs use the classlocator - nice plugin for eclipse and your NWDS

Import javax.ejb cannot be resolved

Hi,
There are some libraries missing in the following code.
package era.budget;
import javax.ejb.*;
import era.budget.BudgetVO;
public class BudgetItemVO implements java.io.Serializable
     private Integer itemId;
     private BudgetVO budget;
     private int type;
     private String itemDetails;
     private int amount;
// -------------- BEGIN GET/SET METHODS --------------
public BudgetItemVO(Integer id)
          this.itemId = id;
     public BudgetItemVO()
     public Integer getItemId()
          return itemId;
public BudgetVO getBudget()
          return budget;
     public void setBudget(BudgetVO budget)
          this.budget=budget;
public int getType()
          return type;
     public void setType(int id)
     this.type=id;
public String getItemDetails()
          return this.itemDetails;
public void setItemDetails(String details)
          this.itemDetails=details;
public int getAmount()
          return this.amount;
public void setAmount(int amount)
this.amount=amount;
As aresult of these missing libraries there are some compilation errors..Some of the errors are as follows
     1)The import javax.ejb cannot be resolved
     2)EntityBean cannot be resolved to a type
3)EntityContext cannot be resolved to a type
4)EJBLocalObject cannot be resolved to a type
Thanx & Regards

Import javax.persistence cannot be resolved

I am running Weblogic Workshop 9.2.0 and Eclipse-Helios v3.6.2, and am running both jdk1.6 and jdk1.5. Going through the Java 5 Tutorial on Web Tier technologies, I am experiencing the above error.
On investigating the jdk, I am unable to find the jar file that contains the above package. Can someone point me in the correct direction to resolve this issue?
Thank you.
Stevenson

The class is not in the JDK, it is part of the JEE5/JEE6 platform and thus provided by weblogic itself. Generally you have a few options;
- figure out which libraries of weblogic you have to add (the documentation should tell you this)
- if using an IDE, you can generally setup a server runtime in your project; in doing so the correct libraries are automatically added
- IDEs generally give access to a generic 'stub' implementation of the JEE classes that you can compile against. You don't need to deploy anything because as said the server already provides the libraries during runtime.

The import javax.ejb cannot be resolved

Hi all,
I have a bean working fine when deployed as jar on weblogic but it gives the above error when deployed as ear. Deployment goes ok but when I try to use it I get the error.
Anybody has any idea of what the problem could be?
Thanks,
A.

I figured out that if I include j2ee.jar in the ear file and the entry j2ee.jar in the Class-Path of the manifest file inside the jar then everything works, but I can't understand why...do I ALWAYS need to include j2ee.jar for every aplication that I deploy?
A.

Javax.servlet.*

Where can I find the jar file so I can use java.servlet.* ?
I set my CLASSPATH and JAVA_HOME variables... is there anything else i need to do? When I go to compile my code it says javax.servlet cannot be resolved.
Any help would be great, thanks!

I put the path to the jar file in my classpath and it
still doesnt work.How did you do that? If you did it correctly, the JVM will find it. If you did it incorrectly, you'll still have the error.

import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class test extends HttpServlet {It looks like its importing javax.servlet.*; and the
other one just fine, What does "importing fine" look like?
Do you know what the "import" keyword is really doing for you. (Hint: It has nothing to do with loading classes.)
but it throws its first error at
HttpServlet saying that it cannot be resolved to a
type. You haven't added the JAR to the CLASSPATH properly then. More details, please. What container are you using? Tomcat? If so, you need to look for /common/lib/servlet-api.jar and get that into your CLASSPATH.
This has been holding me up all day.There's no way something like this should be holding you up for a day. Ask somebody in your area that knows Java and CLASSPATH.

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.

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

The application was developed by NetBeans 5 RC2 and runed well under Windows platform.
The error appears when I click link . At first I thought it may be caused by JSF, but I tested the sample JSF web with simliar link, and there is no problem.
I do saw servlet-api.jar (which contains javax.servlet.ServeletContext) in Tomcat common/lib. Why tomcat can not locate the class?

I solved this problem by deploying the application in Tomcat 5.5.15. It seems that the problem in above post is a bug in Tomcat 5.5.12.

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.
I am getting errors like this :
Package javax.servlet does not exists.

Javax.servlet.ServletContext cannot be resolved in Eclipse

I am loading my project in Eclipse, I am getting this error :
The type[b] javax.servlet.ServletContext cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files
I have set all the libraries, how can make eclipse avaliable with this class

Which libraries have you set?
javax.servlet.ServletContext would be in the J2EE servlet API.
In tomcat this is [TOMCAT]/common/lib/servlet-api.jar
In other containers it might be j2ee.jar
