This is really a basic Java/CLASSPATH question (isn't there a web page
that covers all kinds of classpath issues? -- I have a vague
recollection that it's maintained by someone named Gene who
reads/posts to this list -- www.meangene.com might be the domain
name).
Anyway, what's going on here is that jar/zip files must be named
explicitly in the classpath, it is not sufficient to just put the
directory they're in in the classpath. So, if it's servlet.jar in the
director D:\jsdk2.1, you need to add D:\jsdk2.1\servlet.jar to the
classpath.
