Hey! Hari, Please shut off your HTML for your messages to this E-list. Just send text. Okay, I have some things for you to try. You say "Am able to compile a servlet using javac when invoked from the DOS prompt". Good. I don't know what WinEdit is but you can just edit and your Java save-source with it. Go to a system prompt, run javac. I suspect what is going wrong with WinEdit is that it does not set up your environment correctly. The error your getting say so. You say, "placed the class file inside the servelts directory of the java websrver. and am not able to accesss the servelet". I can only come up with this question. Have you a package mypackage in the first line of you source? If so then you must use the Java directory structrue for placing you servlet, i.e., servlets->mypackage->MyServlet as opposed to servlets->MyServlet. Hope this helps.
