Hi
I get the above error when i try to compile a java program. I have
included it in the CLASSPATH. The CLASSPATH looks like this:



C:\PROGRA~1\BORLAND\CBUILD~1\PROJECTS\BPL;C:\PROGRA~1\BORLAND\CBUILD~1\BIN;­%SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32;%SYSTEMROOT%;%SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\WBEM;C:\WWW\APACHE­2\BIN;C:\WWW\MYSQL\BIN;C:\WWW\PERL\BIN;C:\WWW\PHP5;C:\WWW\APACHE2\BIN;C:\WW­W\MYSQL\BIN;C:\WWW\PERL\BIN;C:\WWW\PHP5;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\WBEM­;C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32;c:\Program

Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_09\bin;



The last one is for java . ive checked if javac is in that bin folder
and it is


Please help before i go insane
Thanks

The Java tools (java.exe and javac.exe) need to be on the PATH, not the
CLASSPATH. You shouldn't even need a CLASSPATH environment variable.

Javac works now. My program also extends the servlet class. but it now
gives me 6 errors.....package javac.servlet does not exist.


import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;


public class BeerSelect extends HttpServlet
{

public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request,HttpServletResponse
response)throws IOException, ServletException
{.........................

How would one go about fixing this?
Thanks

Try actually running the javac command from the bin directory. That's
probably the best start.

I've got some free multimedia tutorials on running compiling and
running code with javac and the java command line utilities. Check them
out at www.mcnz.com They're free.

Cheers!
