I am looking for someone who has actually gotten servlets to
compile on a libc5 slackware installation. I have not made the jump to 6,
as it is not coupled with the migration of all supporting libraries. I
develop on my laptop(Toshiba Tecra with crappy winmodem I can't use,
yet?):
Linux lisa 2.2.1 #2 SMP Sun Feb 14 01:09:47 EST 1999 i586 unknown
And use Apache:
Server version: Apache/1.3.3 (Unix)
Server built: Dec 4 1998 23:37:57
Compiled-in modules:
http_core.c
mod_env.c
mod_log_config.c
mod_mime.c
mod_negotiation.c
mod_status.c
mod_include.c
mod_autoindex.c
mod_dir.c
mod_cgi.c
mod_asis.c
mod_imap.c
mod_actions.c
mod_userdir.c
mod_alias.c
mod_access.c
mod_auth.c
mod_setenvif.c
mod_perl.c
My objective is to get JDBC/ODBC to/from my MySQL databases
through servlets. On windows95 I was able to get the standard JDK to work,
but no matter how I wrestled with the CLASSPATH, javax.* never was found.
So, what I'd love to hear from someone is what combination of
versions of releases works together to get the standard javac(JDK) to work
with JSDK.
Now I'm very, very new to Java, but have purchased 14 books,
including "Java Servlet Programming" by John Hunter. As I see it, adding
servlet compatibility to a .java source is simply placing the jsdk.jar in
the CLASSPATH, right? Documentation says that javac compiles servlets,
applets, scriptlets no sweat. I have no fancy Borland or MS tools.
But other documentation says it is included in the JDK v2.0
..problem is that using imports for those classes/packages does not find
the javax.* stuff! On linux I'm hoping to have more success, and it is
also my development platform of choice for Perl and DBI/ODBC.
Additionally, there are many versions of the JDK, apparently,
including GNU style. Which works with what? When is JRE necessary? I hope
someone else has been through this rite of passage before me!
As an aside, has anyone any experience with Netscape Enterprise
v3? I read that it only supports Servlet API v1.0, and is considered
unstable. I may HAVE to develop on this platform, and would really like to
hear what to do, or not, in order to use this platform on Sun Ultra.
BTW: just joined and the list is working great! See:
