Hi
Shivaraj...
thanks for your patience on this one... i'm gonna run
down what i know that i've got now...
the
two classes contained in this mail (below) are both in the same
directory....
C:\Program Files\Jakarta Tomcat
4.0\webapps\begjsp-ch07\WEB-INF\classes\com\wrox\library
the
first class Book compiles without a hitch, but the subclass ChildrensBook is
still giving me grief...
when
attempting to compile it through forte I get...
WEB-INF/classes/com/wrox/library/ChildrensBook.java [3:1] Class Book not found
in type declaration or import.
public class
ChildrensBook extends Book
{
^
1 error
and
when trying the same through the console, with the command: javac
ChildrensBook.java
I
get....
ChildrensBook.java:3: cannot
resolve symbol
symbol : class
Book
location: class
classes.com.wrox.library.ChildrensBook
public class
ChildrensBook extends Book
{
^
1 error
i
have also set my CLASSPATH, under environment variables to
...
C:\Program Files\Jakarta Tomcat
4.0\webapps\begjsp-ch07\WEB-INF\classes
please if you gotten to the end of this mail, could
you shed some light on my predicament, as i am really beginning to tear my
hair out here
cheers

u can set your classpath in project -->
setting --> servlet jsp --> expert tab . First make sure u r
tomcat is running or not

thanks for you reply...
i feel i may be getting somewhere now that
someone has pointed out the things that are right..
my classes are stored in the webapps folder of
tomcat under the directory...
webapps\begjsp-ch07\WEB-INF\classes\com\wrox\library\
does this tally with my package declaration?
i am unclear as to where the classpath is
defined, and what it should contain... (any suggestions?) there will be
many more classes within this pakage by the time i have finished this
section of the tut.
thanks again shivaraj
cheers

1) Where r u stroing your classes? If u r
classes are in com.wrox.library then what r u doing right. But i
think u have to check u r classpath and have it pointing
to directory which is containing com package.
2) If u just want to use that package, just
import that package instead of declaring a package. and com.wrox.library
should be in u r classpath.
happy coding

thanks very much for you reply, but i think
that is what i have done with the declaration...
package com.wrox.library;
in both of the classes, as i understand it a
package is euphanism for directory, would that be
correct.
as you will gather this is a wrox
tut
i have pasted the code below for anyone who
is interested:
initial class:
*******************************************************
package com.wrox.library;
public class Book {
private String
title;
public String
getTitle() {
return
title;
}
public void setTitle (String title)
{
this.title =
title;
}
/** Creates new Book: Constructor
*/
public Book () {
}
public Book (String
title) {
this.title =
title;
}
}
*******************************************************
extension class:
*******************************************************
package com.wrox.library;
public class ChildrensBook extends Book
{
private int
minimumAge;
public int
getMinimumAge() {
return
minimumAge;
}
public void setMinimumAge(int a)
{
minimumAge =
a;
}
public ChildrensBook()
{
super();
}
public ChildrensBook(String title)
{
super(title);
}
}
*******************************************************
once again thanks to anyone who is willing to
assist me...

In both classes u have to declare the
package to which that class belong. That may solve u r
problem.
happy coding

i am
trying to get my head around class inheritance and have followed
some tuts, however....
having
created a simple class, and then creating a subclass, extending
the first, i keep getting
Class Book not
found in type declaration or import...
when i
try to compile it, they are both sitting in the same package....
pls help!! this is giving me a headache.
i am
currently running Sun's Forte IDE with JDK1.3.1 and serving it up
with Tomcat 4.0
forte
suggests that i have an invalid package declaration but i can find
no documentation on how to rectify this, and am baffled as i have
followed the tuts to the letter and nothing seems out of
kilter.
any
help will be gratefully recieved...
cheers..
