Javax.servlet package -- where is it?

Downloaded latest version of Tomcat and expected the javax.servlet pacakge to be in the folders but it appears to not be. Where can I go to get the jar file for this?

Did you download the lite version of Tomcat for JDK 1.4? I'm not sure what all that leaves out as I've never used it, I always go for the full package, but it's possible it doesn't include javax.servlet since it's part of JDK 1.4.

Javax.servlet package

hi i am using netbeans but i want to deploy some servlets in my mobile application but i am getting problem in accessing javax.servlet package. can anyone tell me where can i get this one. my application is stuck now ......plz reply me fast...... i search a lot i got the specs of it but not the api.

I wonder what you're trying to do.
In my case, I have installed Tomcat 5.0. This installation included a jar file containing the different servlet classes I need to develop servlets. This jar file is in the folder C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.0\common\lib.
I did not need to move the jar files from Tomcat to the folder of my J2SDK.
But I had to add en environment variable under Windows XP, namely CATALINA_HOME to let the computer know where the folder of Tomcat was. With this variable, the jar file containing the classes for servlet programming can be found.

How do I get the javax.servlet package?

I have a simple question. I downloaded the JAVA platform Standard Edition SDK 1.6.0 and find that it doesn't have the javax.servlet package? From where can I get it and how to install and configure?

hi,
you don't have servlet in J2SE... you can get it
from J2EE ... download the latest J2EE .. the
package is available in j2ee.jar file..
ou can download it from:

You are quite wrong my friend... Servlets don't depend on any J2EE container, the only thing you need is a J2SE edition... check this:

I cannot find javax.servlet package in j2sdk-1.4.0-beta3

I just download and install j2sdk-1.4.0-beta3 and progam a very simple program use import javax.servlet.* and compile it, there is a mistake:
package javax.servlet.* does not exist
And I check the doc of j2sdk-1.4.0-beta3,I also can not find package javax.servlet.So where could I find this package? Need I configure somewhere or download another products?

Hi,
You can go to http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/download.html,
download the servlet 2.3 class files, add the zip file to the classpath.

Getting javac to find javax.servlet package

Hey all. I'm trying to get Servlets to run on my computer. I'm using jdk1.4, it didn't have the javax.servlet package to start off with. I downloaded jsdk2.0, which includes the javax.servlet package. I can't get the javac compiler to find these classes no matter what I do, I copied the entire javax/servlet folder into the jdk1.4/src.zip file that seemed to have all the other import files, I copied the jsdk.jar file into jdk1.4/lib/ folder, that didn't work either. In my batch file that sets the path for jdk, I added set classpath = c:\jsdk2.0\lib\jsdk.jar and that didn't work. I really can't seem to get javac to find these classes. Any help is greatly appreciated!

The above advice is incorrect and can lead you to many problems.
You should have nothing in your CLASSPATH environment variable immediately after installing J2SDK 1.4.1.
You then have to install the Servlet API by pointing your CLASSPATH env. var. to it. To do this depends on the version of the Servlet spec. that you have as some of the olders ones were distributed as jar files, and the latest I believe is a set of classes to be extracted.
At the end of the day, you must point your CLASSPATH to the Servlet API. Read up on how to set the CLASSPATH. Also, don't forget to include the current working directory (.) in your CLASSPATH after manually setting it.
Good luck !!

Compiling Servlets: javax.servlet package unknown

Hello everybody,
I'm new to J2EE technology and would like to start with creating servlets, but the javac compiler can not compile my java class succesfully, cos' it seems, it does not know the javax.servlet package.
In each documentation is just a sentence: run javac ... But it does not work.
Do I have to have some special configuration? I also downloaded the J2EE SDK, but the problem resisted.
Help me, please!
Thanx, Peter

Hi peter,
If you have installed the J2EE SDK 1.4, you would find $INSTALL_ROOT/lib/j2ee.jar (INSTALL_ROOT means the installation directory of J2EE SDK). PLease keep this j2ee.jar in the classpath and compile, things would be fine.

I just moved the servlet jar into java_home/jre/lib/ext and I made some progress. Instead I recieved this error
---------- Javac ----------

DOes anyone have an idaea of what would cause this when it had compiled normally before?

Development kit which includes the javax.servlet package

Which java development kit(s) contain the javax.servlet package.v I can't seem to find one. Thanks

You might want to ask this on the Java forum - but if you want to run a servlet you need a Java EE server - something like Glassfish or WebLogic or Tomcat.
The Java forums are here:
https://forums.oracle.com/forums/category.jspa?categoryID=285
Right now you are in the JDeveloper forum - and by the way, if you download JDeveloper you'll get everything you need to develop and test run your servlet.

Cannot find javax.servlet package

I have just downloaded and installed the latest JEE SDK having installed Tomcat on a Linux box so that I can start getting to know JSP.
I am following an example in a book I have for this Servlet...
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import java.io.IOException;
public class BasicServlet extends HttpServlet {
     public void doGet (HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
          throws IOException {
          ServletOutputStream out = res.getOutputStream();
          res.setContentType("text/html");
          out.println("<html><head><title>Basic Servlet</title></head>");
          out.println("<body>Hello World</body></html>");
I am using Textpad to write and compile my java and when I try to compile I get errors basically saying that it cannot find the first 2 packages I am trying to import (it manages to find the IOException fine)
Any ideas why? I suspect that the servlet package is not in the classpath but I do no know where the package is in order to add it to my class path.
many thanks

How to download javax.servlet package

where do i need to download the packages javax.servlet and javax.servlet.http.
does it come with the newest j2sdk?
While trying to compile a class i get the error
"package javax.servlet does not exist"
thanks so much
Dom

They come with the J2ee. You can get them at http://java.sun.com/j2ee/sdk_1.3/

Javax.servlet package does not exits

Hi all
i have set my classpath as follows:-
J2EE_HOME - c:\Sun\Appserver
path - %JAVA_HOME%\bin;%J2EE_HOME%\bin
set classpath- .;%JAVA_HOME%\lib;%J2EE_HOME%\lib\j2ee.jar
my j2se path and classpath already set
but after setting path and classpath for j2ee i m not able to compile my servlet
the error is package javax.servlet does not exits
i know this error arised when we dont include j2ee.jar in classpath , but i m using j2ee.jar as well in my classpath
plz suggest

but you can also try including it in the web-inf\lib folder of your webapp.You should NEVER bundle the servlet-api.jar into the WEB-INF/lib folder of a web application.
The server will always have its own copy. Putting your own there will just confuse things, and create errors.
Ok, so you have set the classpath. What tool are you using to compile your code? Does it look at the classpath?
Cheers,

Using Javax.Servlet package for the first time

Hello everyone.
I have (to some) the dumbest question, however I am new to this side of Java.
I'm trying to create my first Servlet page, and I have Java 2 Standard edition (JDK1.3). I also have JBuilder (JDK1.3.1).
My class seems to be unable to find the javax.Servlet.* packges.
It seems I don't have the package available to my compiler, so I cannot compile my application.
Someone please point me in the right direction.
Thanks
Rich

you would also need to have a servlet runner. you could use tomcat jakarta.apache.org (it's the standard implementation for servlets). With Tomcat also comes the servlet package.

Classpath set BUT still javax.servlet package not found when compiling

Hello,
I'm trying to compile a servlet and use tomcat 5 to run it. After I set the classpath to include the servlet-api.jar file, the compiler still tells me it cannot find package. I'm not sure what else to do. Please Help.
Thanks Smoker

Then you haven't set the actual classpath that the compiler is using. Just because you say you have set the 'classpath' doesn't mean you've properly told the compiler that.
Such as, what did you do, set the CLASSPATH environment variable? Don't do that - ever. If that's what you did, and you're using an IDE, the IDE project is ignoring that environment variable anyway. You have to configure the project appropriately (which for one thing sets up the 'classpath' it uses), which varies depending on the IDE. That's an IDE question though, not a Java one.

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.
Hoony
weblogic 5.1.0

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

Where are javax.* packages?

Where are the javax.* packages, like javax.servlet? Are they built-in components of J2SE API? Or must I download and install them separately?
And do I need to set CLASSPATH to point to these .jar files?
Thank you!

many of the javax.* packages are included in J2SE. However the javax.servlet packages are part of J2EE which is a separate download.
refer the the API's to know which are where.
