Hi Yashraj,
Setting the classpath to " . . . \classes" (as above) gives me the following:

error: cannot read: TechnicalBook.java
1 error

When I do the same, but with the the location of the ChildrenBook file specified (outside the classpath, so:

javac -classpath "c:\. . .\WEB-INF\classes" booklibrary\ChildrenBook.java

I get the previous error:

booklibrary\ChildrenBook.java:28: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : constructor Book (java.lang.String)
location: class booklibrary.Book
    super(title);
    ^

1 error

Regds,
Ped

Absolute path for ChildrenBook.java and TechnicalBook.java is:

c:\Program Files\Apache Softwae Foundation\Tomcat 5.0\webapps\objects\WEB-INF\classes\booklibrary

I am running the command prompt from:

c:\Program Files\Apache Softwae Foundation\Tomcat 5.0\webapps\objects\WEB-INF\classes>

Hi
Try the following commands this will compile your code without error
For Book.java
javac -d "c:\Program Files\Apache Softwae Foundation\Tomcat 5.0\webapps\objects\WEB-INF\classes\booklibrary" booklibrary\Book.java

This command will create folder of your package name specified in your Book.java

For ChildrenBook.java
javac -d "c:\Program Files\Apache Softwae Foundation\Tomcat 5.0\webapps\objects\WEB-INF\classes\booklibrary" -classpath "c:\Program Files\Apache Softwae Foundation\Tomcat 5.0\webapps\objects\WEB-INF\classes\booklibrary" booklibrary\ChildrenBook.java

For TechnicalBook.java
javac -d "c:\Program Files\Apache Softwae Foundation\Tomcat 5.0\webapps\objects\WEB-INF\classes\booklibrary" -classpath "c:\Program Files\Apache Softwae Foundation\Tomcat 5.0\webapps\objects\WEB-INF\classes\booklibrary" booklibrary\TechnicalBook.java
