Hello. I am using Tomcat 6.0.18, my Java version is 1.6.0_11 and I have a servlet called TestingServlet.java. My classpath reads like this: .;C:\Sun\SDK\bin; C:\Sun\SDK\jdk\bin; C:\Tomcat\lib\servlet-api.jar I cannot compile in DOS without typing: javac -classpath C:\Tomcat\lib\servlet-api.jar TestingServlet.java I cannot understand why I am being required to specify the servlet api when I have it in my classpath. I have looked through the manual and Googled for an answer to this problem without success. Can anyone help me out? Thanks. **************New year...new news.
