Servlet jar file

I am trying to compile a simple example servlet. It is looking for the javax.servlet.* and javax.servlet.http.* import classes.
I discovered that I needed to add c:\j2sdkee1.2.1\lib\j2ee.jar to my classpath for this to compile. c:\j2sdkee1.2.1\lib would not work.
My question is this: why do I need to explicitly name the jar file in my classpath? I compiled on another machine that only had c:\j2sdkee1.2.1\lib and it worked there without naming the jar file explicitly.
Thanks,
Denise

Possibly the other machine had a copy of the jar file in its extensions directory.

Location of SunServer7 Servlet.jar file?

Hello All I have AppServer7 development edition installed on my machine and I'm trying to compile a simple helloworld servlet to test my installation, but I can't seem to find servlet.jar in the AppServer7 directory structure. Any ideas which file has the servlet interfaces?
Thanks,
Coop

The forum for AppServer questions is:

Having said that, did you check under server_root/jwsdp/common/lib directory?

Compiling file with servlet.jar

Hi,
I can compile my file under the arm/pdm package fine by using this command:
javac -classpath .;.. pdm\FileName.java
but now i wrote a servlet which imports the javax.servlet directory.
So in order for the class to compile i have to give it the path of the servlet.jar file which is in this directory: c:/jdk1.3.1_07/lib/servlet.jar
The problem am having is that i can't give both the classpaths at one time in order to compile my servlet which also uses classes in the pdm directory and also from a different directory under arm.
Please help
Thanks

Perhaps
javac -classpath .;..;c:\jdk1.3.1_07\lib\servlet.jar pdm\FileName.java

Some problems with servlet.jar and tomcat 4.1.27

Hello everybody,
I used to work with tomcat 3.3.1 and i've decided to use tomcat 4.1.27 now. The manual explains that we have to change de version of servlet.jar, it's done with servlet-2.3.jar but on tomcat starting i have this message:
jar not loaded. See servlet spec [...]. Offending class: javax/servlet/Servlet.class
what can i do, i've red all de documentation and i think all versions a OK??
thanks per advance
antoine

I am running Tomcat 4.1.18, so your configuration may be slightly different. I found the Servlet.class file you are missing residing in the Tomcat/common/lib directory in the Servlet.jar file. Check your path and also make sure your Servlet.jar file contains the missing class.

Servlet.jar not in jdk 1.3.1?

I've always added servlet.jar into the classpath when compiling servlets and it worked fine until i upgraded to jdk1.3 which dosent come with a servlet.jar and cant find javax.servlet classes normally- so what do i have to do then besides finding my old servlet.jar file? what are the javax.servlet classes hidden in for jdk13?

You can download the J2EE add-on to the JDK1.3.
That will have the javax.servlet

Looking for servlet.jar

I've loaded a project into Eclipse that requires servlet.jar. This apparently doesn't come with the current version of Tomcat or Sun Application Server. How can I get the file and if I get an older version, is it going to work with Tomcat 5.5?

Thanks ...that helped me too...That was written over two years ago. Thanks for resurrecting it.

Addes servlet.jar but still doesn't compile

I'm building a servlet and therefor I added the servlet.jar file in my java/lib directory. After changing the classpath (adding the path to the lib directory), my servlet still doesn't compile. What could be wrong?
debeumers

to add a jar to the classpath, you must add the full path to the jar, for example java/lib/servlet.jar

J2sdk & servlet.jar

Hi, I haven't used servlets for a couple of years and have just managed to configure j2sdk and tomcat5 to work together but unfortunately i haven't been able to find the servlets.jar file. Could someone please help or do i have to try to get j2eesdk working - at this stage it wont unpack on this system
Thank you

Thanks
Had just found that the name of the servlet container had changed from servlets.jar to servlets-api.jar and where it was located. All Working now except for the web.xml. Just trolling through the help files, and tutorials to try and get it working and then should be fine. Thanks again

Replacing servlet.jar

I need to upgrade the javax.servlet to the current version.
Is it simply a matter of replacing the servlet.jar file and reloading or is it more complicated than that ?

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Alan Smith:
I am facing the same difficulty! I downloaded the TomCat added to the project path in JDev. I'm still having JDev recognizing getAttribute() and setAttribute() methods. You have mentioned 2.2 servlet api solves the problem. I couldn't find that in the TomCat website. Do I need to do anything additional from JDev in order to recognize 2.2 servlet API?
TIA,

Download the jakarta-servletapi file, extract into a directory and add to classpath. This will cater for the command line compiles.
For JDev put the newly extracted servlet.jar on top of the one in the JDEV hierarchy ..\jswdk-1.01\servlet.jar if i remember correctly. This will BREAK servlet debugging from within the IDE - but at least you can compile and deploy.

JAR file does not get uploaded to client for my SERVLET generated APPLET

Some help please...
I have a servlet that generates the HTML code that contains an APPLET. This APPLET needs a JAR file that is listed under its ARCHIVE property. The SERVLET is in a JAR file that is in the same directory as the other needed JAR file. If I create a static HTML with the output of the SERVLET it works fine. But if go through Weblogic the needed JAR file does not get uploaded to the client so I get a java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:and my APPLET does not load.
Q1: I am not sure what to put under the CODEBASE tag. I tried "." and I also tried "http://mymachine" but both did not work. I also tried without the CODEBASE tag. No luck. The SERVLET is bound to http://mymachine/servlet.
Q2: Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this? Is there a way to force the browser to upload a certain JAR file?
Thanks...

It works!!
This is what I did:
The jar file in question was the weblogic.jar. I tried putting it under the lib directory of my war file but I had problems because the weblogic.jar contains other war files inside so when I tried to deploy my war file it also tried to deploy the inner war files which for some reason did not work. So I tried removing the war files from the weblogic.jar and this time I had no problems deploying my war file but I still could not find the classes I needed. So I tried moving the weblogic.jar to the root dir of my war file and it worked!! Now the trick here was: I did not set the CODEBASE AND I had the ARCHIVE paramenter set in TWO places like below:
<APPLET CODE = "marketmap.client.MarketMapApplet"
ARCHIVE = "weblogic.jar"
WIDTH = "657"
HEIGHT = "382"
ALIGN = "BOTTOM"
ALT = "APPLET tag not recognized">
</XMP>
<PARAM NAME = CODE VALUE = "MyApplet" >
<PARAM NAME = "type" VALUE="application/x-java-applet;version=1.2.2">
<PARAM NAME = "scriptable" VALUE="false">
<PARAM NAME = ARCHIVE VALUE="weblogic.jar">
</APPLET>
Actually if you do not place a parameter named ARCHIVE (at the end) it wil NOT work. I tried with multiple jar files listed and it works great too.
Anyway I figure I'd share. Thanks for the help too.
Lastly for people who choose not to upload the jar files to clients, you should look at the bea documentation on applets. It lists a classpath servlet that allows you to provide classes to the clients without having to force them to download the jar file.

Use jar file for one servlet in one application (not global in classpath)

I have a servlet application that needs a jar file to load with one particular servlet. If I put the classpath to the jar file in the jvm12.conf, the servlet loads fine. I can't run it like that, however, since I use another jar file by the same name in a different application. I would like to specify it only with the servlet that needs it. According to the online help file, it says more than one jar, zip, or class file can be specified in the servlet classpath, but that doesn't seem to be the case. We're running iPlanet 4.1. I've tried adding the classpath to the jar file after the classpath for the servlet itself (servlet.properties), but it gives the class not found error for that function. Is there a way to do this? Context.properties, maybe? I can't find any instructions on setting that up.

You might have better luck asking this question on a web server forum. This is an application server forum and most people here are going to more experienced with iAS.

Servlets in Jar files in WLS 6.1 ?

Trying to port a WLS 5.1 servlet into 6.1 (an entirely different
          animal it appears)
          I have added an application to my config.xml file as below as well as
          trying to start it
          PasswordPolicy="wl_default_password_policy"
          Realm="wl_default_realm"/>
          <Application Deployed="true" Name="DefaultWebApp_cb2java"
          Path=".\config\PM\applications">
          <WebAppComponent Name="DefaultWebApp_cb2java"
          Targets="PCPNEARN"
          URI="DefaultWebApp_cb2java" WebServers="PCPNEARN"/>
          </Application>
          <StartupClass Arguments="servlet=ProMan"
          ClassName="weblogic.servlet.utils.ServletStartup"
          FailureIsFatal="true" Name="StartPMServlet1"
          Targets="PCPNEARN"/>
          Now my servlet is packaged in a JAR file under the lib directory of so
          when I assume that WLS will automatically pick this up from
          C:\Weblogic6.1\wlserver6.1\config\PM\applications\DefaultWebApp_cb2java\WEB-INF\lib
          directory ? ( as the lib directory is where the doc says it picks up
          jar files from )
          Now when I start WLS it cant find the servlet? Is that because I cant
          package it in a JAR as of WLS 6.1 and have to move the class files to
          the Classes directory instead ?
          Furthermore the Servlet itself references JavaBeans deployed in a
          totally different application. Can I also assume that if I have my
          Classpath correct these will get picked up ?


I would look here
http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs61/webapp/security.html#100365 for methods on
protecting web app resources.

What are the required jar files for servlets compilation?

hello all,
which jar files are required to compile a servlet class.I am using Tomcat 5.5 version and my deployment folder is in tomcat's webapps folder.
already i have servlets-api,jar,but i got several errors while i compile my servlet program.
do i need to set path and classpath also? if yes, tell me how?
can any one help me.

I think you did not set the path and the classpath...
set the path to jdk bin folder
set PATH=c:\program files\java\jdk1.x\bin;
also set classpath to servlets-api.jar
set CLASSPATH=C:\program files\ ..... \servlets-api.jar

How to get list of jar files loaded by servlet container.

Hi,
I need to display in my servlet program about the list of jar files loaded by servlet container. Does it vary for each servlet container or is it same. Where can I get those details.
I need to write code to support tomcat 4x, iplanet 5.0 and websphere 6.0.
Thanks & Regards,

...Interestingly, method 1 and 3 gives the same list, same order, same count, just format of item is a little bit different. The order is same as in Eclipse .classpath file.
Method 2 (tschodt) give significantly more items! rougly 3x! Different order (somewhat random it seems to me). Some items contain extra information, like version and string "Java Platform API Specification".
It prints not absolute paths but logical Java names.
