Is that really the location of servlet.jar?

No, because you haven't specified one. When you use -classpath, the very next thing is taken as the classpath. So you've told the compiler that classpath=HellowWorld.java, and you have not specified a file to compile. That's why it's not doing anything. If you're setting the classpath as an environment variable, then _don't_ use the command line switch. I prefer to use ant, or to specify the classpath on the command line. Try this: javac -classpath C:\tomcat\jakarta-tomcat-3.3.1a\jakarta-tomcat-3.3.1a\lib\common\servlet.jar HellowWorld.java (Was that a typo? Is it really HelloWorld.java?) -- Wendy Smoak Applications Systems Analyst, Sr. Arizona State University PA Information Resources Management
