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

note The full stack trace of the root cause is available in the Apache Tomcat/5.5.12 logs.
Apache Tomcat/5.5.12
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.
Details please refer to http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=38211

Could someone please provide some advise on why the error occurs? And maybe were to look to find a solution?
Thanks in advance.

Error importing ""import javax.servlet.ServletContext;""

Hello:
I have a JSC update 2 application. My problem is this:
In the file ViewHandlerImpl.java (only read) i have an error ipmorting javax.servlet.ServletContext, and i have another error in this lines:
if (!(context.getExternalContext().getContext() instanceof ServletContext)) {
if (PhaseId.INVOKE_APPLICATION.equals(phaseId) ||
context.getRenderResponse() ||
context.getResponseComplete()) {
destroy(context);
return;
In the first line i have the error, this error says that:
cannot find symbol
Symbol: class ServletContext
location: class com.sun.rave.web.ui.appbase.faces.ViewHandlerImpl
The library exists in my project, any idea how to solution this problem?
Thanks

I'm guessing that you are using an IDE. The import line getting red means the class you are trying to import is not in the class path.
So if you are using an IDE then normally there is a place to add external jar files to your project.If you can tell me which IDE you use I may be able to help(if im familiar with that IDE)
the next thing is the name of the jar file. it's servlet-api.jar. you can get it from tomcathome/common/lib if you are using tomcat

Javax.servlet.ServletException: Cannot create bean of class

People,
HELP!! I am getting desperate!!!
I am a newbie when it comes to TOMCAT, but i have been using Blazix before.
My current system is using APACHE/TOMCAT on a Solaris machine and I keep hitting the same problem. I have gone through the archives but the only thing it states is to check the directory which i have done.
I keep getting:
Error 500
Internal Error
javax.servlet.ServletException: Cannot create bean of class MyClass
The code used to work on the Blazix server so i am assuming it is something to do with a config parameter somewhere - but i do not know where. I have checked the directory/package structure and they seem to work. It even serves it when they are html pages not jsp, but obviously wont use the bean. :(
I can post code if necessary.
Please help
Steve

Hello,
thanks for your contribution. But how I already said we have seen that the first error message:
The error is: javax.servlet.UnavailableException: Cannot load a validator resource from '/WEB-INF/validator-rules.xml,/WEB-INF/validation.xml'
But behind that message is an additional message that describes the real root cause of the problem:
SEVERE: Cannot find resource "org/apache/commons/digester/xmlrules/digester-rules.dtd"
org.apache.commons.digester.xmlrules.XmlLoadException: Cannot find resource
"org/apache/commons/digester/xmlrules/digester-rules.dtd"
Unfortunately we have no idea why the dtd file can not be loaded. The appropriate line of code is:
getClass().getResourceAsStream("<link_to_resource")
And this returns a NULL object. The NULL object causes the general exception and finishes the instantiation of Struts.
Any additonal hints?
Regards, Maik

Javax.servlet.UnavailableException: Cannot initialize RequestProcessor

Hi all,
we're facing some enormous memory problems while running our BC4J/Struts application within a ias 10g /linux environment (i.e. memory usage grows rapidly while heap size sinks).
We're trying to identify where such high memory usage is produced. We also scanned our log files, from time to time we receive the following error:
Jul 27, 2004 6:50:43 PM org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet destroyModules
SEVERE: javax.servlet.UnavailableException: Cannot initialize RequestProcessor of class oracle.jbo.html.struts11.BC4JRequestProcessor: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: oracle.jbo.html.struts11.BC4JRequestProcessorThe class BC4JRequestprocessor belongs to the bc4jstruts.jar which is in the web-inf/lib path of our web application.
Does anyone have an idea how to prevent this error?
Does this error maybe affect our memory problem?
tia,
Stefan

We've tied this problem down to be related to the IMAP portlet (which might mean I need to continue any of this in a more suitable category,) but does anyone know of any issues with the email portlet from the PDK that might be causing this?

Hey guys,
Even I was frustrated for a long time with all the Struts errors for which Google returned loads of results but no particular solutions. All these solutions were all based on hit and trial and only work on some cases. Let me tell you that Struts (and most other frameworks) have a general approach to consume the actual error message and throw an exception which is light years away from the actual cause. So whats' the solution?
Enable logging.... LOG4J to be precise...
...and see that it (log4j) is configured properly. You will see the actual cause there and not on the consoles of your servers (whichever you use).
In my case, it was a host not found exception in the logs because I was sitting behind a firewall and the validator could not locate struts.apache.org
(Wish this thread had some duke dollars)

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.servlet.ServletContext.getContextPath()Ljava/lang/String;[ServletContext#getContextPath()|http://java.sun.com/javaee/5/docs/api/javax/servlet/ServletContext.html#getContextPath()] was introduced in Servlet API 2.5. Tomcat 6.0 by default ships with this API. It look like that you've an older version of the Servlet API somewhere in the classpath which overrides the Tomcat 6.0 Servlet API. Maybe you accidently put it in your /WEB-INF/lib or another classpath paths while it doesn't belong there?

Servlet config cannot be resolved

Hi, I have used:
http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Intl/HTTPCharset/
to change my program to unicode.
When I put this section into my servlet:
ServletConfig config = getServletConfig();
encoding = config.getInitParameter("PARAMETER_ENCODING");it says that ServletConfig cannot be resolved or is not a type.
Any ideas why it says this?
Cheers.

Make sure that you have imported ServletConfig interface as
import javax.servlet.ServletConfig;or
import javax.servlet.*;

Problems with javax.imageio.ImageIO (cannot be resolved) *Urgent*

I was trying to import javax.imageio.ImageIO into my project but it cannot work... I am using Websphere Application 5.1.2 and using JDK 1.4.2_07... I try to import external jar containing javax.image but it still can't solve my problem... So can anyone help me... Thank alot...

There is no exception, the javax.imageio.ImageIO.read(InputStream input) method simply returns null, indicating that the stream can't be decoded with any of the registered ImageReaders.
BufferedImage bi = javax.imageio.ImageIO.read(new ByteArrayInputStream(wr2.getData()))
wr2 is of a class that I have written myself, and the method getData() returns a byte[] array consisting of the bytes previously read from the .gif-file...
there is nothing wrong with the data stored in the byte[] array, I have even compared it to the original file byte by byte... and it's all the same.
this works though:
BufferedImage bi = javax.imageio.ImageIO.read(new FileInputStream("img/iconOnlineDark.gif"))
Strange problem, in my opinion... but I'm not an expert in streams... so it might not be as strange as it seems to me...? Anyway, I must find a solution to this.

How do I fix "BufferedReader cannot be resolved to a type"?

Hello,
I'm writing a jsp page that read one file and output it. The code look like this:
<%
BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("tech.csv"));
String line = "";
while ((line = input.readLine()) != null) {
out.println(line);
input.close();
%>and the error it keeps coming up is:
An error occurred at line: 9 in the jsp file: /FirstServlet.jsp
BufferedReader cannot be resolved to a typeWhat's the problem here? (I put the tech.csv file in the same directory as the jsp file)
Btw, I'm using tomcat 6.0.13.
thanks for the help,
ekb

To fix it, you need to import the class java.io.BufferedReader. And probably FileReader as well.
The following page directive in your JSP should fix it.
<%@ page import="java.io.*" %>I'm not sure why you would want to do it like this when you could just use a <jsp:include>, but its your program :-).
Oh, and new File("...") uses the working directory as a base - it knows nothing about the location of the JSP.
Your best bet there is to use the methods of javax.servlet.ServletContext.
either
String filename = application.getRealPath("/pathToMyCSV.csv");
File f = new File (filename)
BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(f));or
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(application.getResourceAsStream("/pathToMyCSV.csv")));Cheers,

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
