Hello
  I am on Chapter 2 of the "Professional Java Servlets 2.3 text.
   page 55 paragraph 2 says:
  " Place he BasicServlet.java file in the basicServlets subfolder
  of the source code directory (scr) [did that]

Then is says:
" then compile it from the src directory susing the javax compiler,
  [how do I do that?]including %CATALINA_HOME%\common\lib\servlet.jar in your classpath [how do I do that?]

Then it says:
"Move the resultint class file into the classes\\basicServlets directory [please explain how to do that too !]

Thanks
Joe

Hi Jeo
Firstly to compile Servlets u need javac not javax now let's see the command to complie it.

In the command prompt go to the basicServlets subfolder and type this command
javac -classpath "%CATALINA_HOME%\common\lib\servlet.jar" BasicServlet.java

Befor doing this make sure you have set the CATALINA_HOME path in your environment variables
