i have placed the files in my root directory on IIS, can anyone help, IJava-Queries Post
hi!
i guess u r using the servlet engine(ServletRunner) that comes along with jsdk. what's ur version? what u do is, set the classpath to where ever u have the jsdk directory, if u dont use any IDE, type this in the dos prompt, (for eg, ur jsdk is in local c drive)
c:\ set classpath=c:\jsdk4.0\lib;
then compile the file, if u use an IDE, what's that u r using?
>>>
The problem here is that the OP does not know that a web server is needed to run JSP or is it a Typo
