Post me off the list Nasrin if you need to get up and running. Seeing you've a academic email address I assume you've done some programming perhaps a bit of c or something, make as your build tool and/or familiar with the likes of perl.
If you're running windows then there's an Ant installer for windows users who are generally used to double clicking on stuff without to much cognition mediating the installation process.
Then you'll want to get the sample project in the tomcat documentation built with ant. This will let you put all the classpaths in an xml file and make life much simpler.
I assume you've installed tomcat or another container so I wont mention that. But if i'm wrong then just say so.
Cheers Mark

Me thinks you may be starting a little at the deep end in that case. You
would probably do better to get comfortable writing simple applications in
java before you get into the more complex stuff (such as servlets and
frameworks etc...).
An IDE is an "integrated development environment". A very good (& free) one
is Eclipse.
(www.eclipse.org)
If your just starting out with Java then its good to learn to code without
an IDE first to get a feel for whats going on and how all the classpath
stuff works (as your discovering, it can be quite troublesome at times!!!),
but once your past the learning stage and writing real programs you will
find an IDE very helpful and a big time saver.
Which book are you reading?

Thanks for your reply.
I already had servlet.jar in my system variables classpath -(and I'm using
tomcat).
What did you mean by struts-jarS ? I added all the .jar files from struts to
my lib folder of my application. But no change in the errors.

hi!
servlet.jar is needed for stuff like: javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse
it is deliverd with tomcat in $TOMCAT/common/lib (in case of using tomcat)
or in j2ee.jar (in $J2EE_HOME/lib)
add this to your classpath and of course your struts-jarS!
do you use an IDE?

Hi,
I have an error occurring when I try and compile some java files in struts.
Package org.apache.struts.action does not exist
Import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm;
Package javax.servlet.http does not exist
Import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
There are many more similar errors.
I have included the struts.jar file from the Jakarta-struts/lib folder in the classpath.
I have added all the .tld files, web.xml and struts-config.xml in the WEB-INF folder of my application
I have added the struts.jar file to the lib folder in my application
In the classes folder I have put ApplicationResources.properties
Web-inf/classes/com/example contains the java files I want to compile
This is an example from a book I am learning from and I have followed everything exactly. Can anyone advise me on what I am doing wrong?
Thanks
