Dave, Can you type 'javap javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet' on a command line? If it shows Class 'javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet' not found then a) the servlet.jar is not in your classpath or b) the servlet.jar is corrupted. or c) your classpath has an error in it
In any of these cases, you will get the error that you describe when you try and compile. Are you compiling from the command line or from an IDE?
