Hi,
I have kind of a similar setup on my machine - Java Web Server 2.0 Beta,
JSDK 2.1, JDK 1.2 etc. and it works!!
After reading all your emails and responses to those, here is all that I can
suggest. In your CLASSPATH environment variable, instead of pointing to
e:\jsdk2.1\src or e:\jsdk2.1\ , try pointing to the servlet.jar file
explicitly.
So, your CLASSPATH will have e:\jsdk2.1\servlet.jar
Then, give it a try.
Hope this helps.

Subject: Re: How to Set up Developer Environment
Thanks, this has definately moved me forward, but still have a few problems.
I have tried moving the servlet I am trying to compile into each of the
following directories and then change to that directory and try compiling
from there.
jsdk2.1
jsdk2.1\src
jsdk2.1\src\javax
jsdk2.1\src\javax\servlet
In each case, I still get the error that it cannot find of them still could
not find javax.servlet.
In the meantime, I have changed the classpath to be as follows:
e:\jsdk2.1\;e:\jsdk2.1\src\;e:\jsdk2.1\src\javax\servlet\;e:\jsdk2.1\src\jav
ax\
Looking at the contents of these directories, I find there are only .java
files and no .class files. All in all, I find the following:
jsdk2.1<DIR>
default.cfg
server.jar
servlet.jar
src<DIR>
no files
javax<DIR>
no files
servlet<DIR>
Servlet.java
GenericServlet.java
ServletRequest.java
and 9 other similar *.java files
http<DIR>
HttpServlet.java
HttpSession.java
and 7 other Http*.java files
jsp<DIR>
HttpJspPage.java
JSPPage.java
I even tried compiling some of the java files in the servlet directory.
ServletException.java, ServletInputStream.java and ServletOutputStream.java
were the only ones I could get to compile. The others all had couldn't find
some javax.* class. Some reported that they couldn't find javax.servlet.
I also tried copying the servlet.jar file into the servlet directory. No
difference (what is in the jar file? Is it relevant?
Any additional ideas?

No idea!
Hope all that helps.
