If you don't give a build.xml sample about your compile target, I'm afraid it will be difficult to help you...
All I can say without being a mind reader is that it obviouslly does not have the servlet API in the classpath when compiling.
Waiting for your xml file.

Subject: Ant newbie - Compiler Problems
I apologise in advance if this problem is stupidly simple, but I am a newcomer to Ant.
I am running Ant 1.2, Jakarta-Tomcar 3.2.1, JDK 1.3, and all this on Win NT.
I have modified the sample build.xml file to build a simple servlet. When I run Ant I get the following message
[javac] File to be compiled:
D:\Apache\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1\webapps\Vince\src\Hello.java
[javac] D:\Apache\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1\webapps\Vince\src\Hello.java:67: cannot resolve symbol
[javac] symbol : class ServletException
[javac] location: package servlet
[javac] import javax.servlet.ServletException;
[javac] ^
The complier repeats this for each import of the javax.servlet class.
It seems that it cant find the javax.servlet package.
I have tried pointing my classpath everywhere logical, and through frustration most places illogical - Has anybody any ideas how to solve this? I suspect that it is some sort of incompatibilty with jdk1.3 - Either that or something so simple that you will all be laughing at me!
Any help would be appreciated.
