First, I'm assuming you are using a *source* distribution of Tomcat 3.2.1, not the
*binary*
distribution. If not, you're going to need to go get that. You're going to be
building a complete new
Tomcat from scratch, so you'll need it.
Second, you will need several other packages (as documented in the README.txt file in
the top level
directory) in order to compile Tomcat successfully.
Putting your source in the same directory where SimpleRealm is is a good start. Next
step is to make
sure you've got the right "package" header at the top (it should be "package
org.apache.tomcat.request").
However, you won't be able to just use "javac" to build it, because you will need to
have the class path
set up right. Instead, go back to the top level directory of the source distribution
and type
build (if on Windows)
or
./build.sh (if on Unix)
to build a complete new Tomcat, including your new class. You can run the new build
(for testing) by:
cd ..\build\tomcat
bin\tomcat start
or
cd ../build/tomcat
./bin/tomcat.sh start
