install tomcat

[sibuea]

Hi,

I just installed tomcat 4.1
When I tried to compile a servlet, there was an error like
javax.servlet.http not exist.
I think it's probably because I haven't setup the classpath.

Do you know how to set it up?

Thanks
RS

(assuming Windows)

Have a JDK (not a JRE) installed.

Have JDK bin dir in PATH.

Take the ZIP not the installer.

Unzip in a dir with no spaces ind.

And run.bat should start Tomcat.

In order to compile servlets you must include the servlet.jar
library on your classpath. In Tomcat 4.1 it is in the
TOMCAT_HOME/common/lib directory

Tomcat 5 calls this file servlet-api.jar
