Hi,

Im trying to compile a file which imports

- import javax.servlet.jsp.*;

but when i compile it i get the error:

package javax.servlet.jsp does not exist
import javax.servlet.jsp.*;
^
I don't believe it is a problem with my classpath as
I also have the command

- import javax.servlet.http.*;

in the file which compiles fine when i comment out

- import javax.servlet.jsp.*;

my classpath contains "c:\tomcat\common\lib\servlet-api.jar"
which points to the javax.servlet class.

Any help greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

My classpath contains "D:\Tomcat 4.1\common\lib¡¢servlet.jar"

I was having problems with this and then discovered that with the version of Tomcat that I am using ( 5.0 ), the commons/lib directory does contain the servlet-api.jar, however, when I opened it to check if it contained the jsp directory, it did not. I then found jsp-api.jar in the same directory and I believe this is the archive that contains the required files.

Hope this helps!

Have a good one.

Oak is righ, you need both servlet-api.jar and jsp-api.jar in common/lib folder. You can get them off the SUN site.

Hi i have both jsp-api and servlet-api in my common lib directory though i am still having problem when i am trying to compile a java file with import javax.servlet.jsp.*. I will greatly appreciate if any one can let me know what i am doing wrong.

I also faced the same problem.
I copied the following jar files in the compile path
javax.servlet.jar
javax.servlet.jsp.jar
jboss-j2ee.jar
servlet-api.jar

I think jboss-j2ee.jar is the one which is needed along with other jar files.
Hope this helps
