About Tomcat: How to use servlet-api.jar

smshinde · May 31st, 2006, 02:29 AM

Hello,
I have recently installed Apache Tomcat 5.5 on Windows 2000 OS.
How to use the file
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat
5.5\common\lib\servlet-api.jar
to compile the servlets?
Please help.

Type the following command on command prompt and compile ur program.
Not exactly. Similar to this. It means, Tomcat path may be different in ur system

set classpath=%classpath%;C:\Tomcat 5.0\common\lib\servlet-api.jar

You have to put in CLASSPATH :
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat
5.5\common\lib\servlet-api.jar
You have to write these from above in Start -> Control Panel-> System -> Advanced -> Environment Variables
After that you have to restart computer

Mr. Ram and briss are correct, however you do not need to restart your computer. You only need to restart any Java processes that are running. When they are restarted they will pick up the new CLASSPATH definition.
