Problem with "import sabasrv.database.*;"

Question

Hi there..
I am new to the Java game so this is probably a very easy problem to fix.
I am using the Forte IDE and My code has the following imports :
package sabasrv.user;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.lang.*;
import java.sql.SQLException ;
import sabasrv.database.*;
The problem is that whenI try to compile I get the following error:
src/sabasrv/user/User.java [8:1] Package sabasrv.database. not found in import.
import sabasrv.database.*;
^
src/sabasrv/user/User.java [16:1] Class DbSql not found in type declaration or import.
DbSql sql ;
^
2 errors
Any ideas why I am getting this? My CLASSPATH environment variable is :
CLASSPATH=C:\jdk1.1.8\jsdk23.jar;C:\old_Saba_servlet\src\sabasrv\database
I hope this is enough info to go on.
Your fwend.

Answer 1

You classpath should probably be
C:\old_Saba_servlet\src
instead of
C:\old_Saba_servlet\src\sabasrv\database
if you have classfiles in that directory and not just the source files. Try that. The package name is "appended" to the classpath, so sabasrv.user will be /sabasrv/user when it looks for class files in that package.
