all in one java SDK

[kulangotski]

hi,

just want to know if there is an all in one package jdk? like a package which has also has the servlet-api?

I am asking this because I have been trying to make tomcat and java work together but everytime I run java files with contents in which the servlet-api is necessary, it simply won't work. already did the classpath still no go. by the way I am using tomcat 7, already tried version 6 of tomcat and still no go.

I am kind of stuck here and I can't compile java files with servlet api components so maybe is there a package from oracle which includes everything like the web classes and also the simple classes from java 6? so I don't have to setup the classpath and other stuff.

thanks for reading, any suggestions would be very much appreciated :D

It might help to define "won't work".

oh im sorry.

this is the class I have been trying to compile

import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class HelloWorld extends HttpServlet {
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException {
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
out.println("Hello World");
}
}

then I try to use javac but it gives me this kind reply

HelloWorld.java:2: package javax.servlet does not exist
import javax.servlet.*;
^
HelloWorld.java:3: package javax.servlet.http does not exist
import javax.servlet.http.*;
^
HelloWorld.java:4: cannot find symbol
symbol: class HttpServlet
public class HelloWorld extends HttpServlet {
^
HelloWorld.java:5: cannot find symbol
symbol : class HttpServletRequest
location: class HelloWorld
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,
^
HelloWorld.java:6: cannot find symbol
symbol : class HttpServletResponse
location: class HelloWorld
HttpServletResponse response)
^
HelloWorld.java:7: cannot find symbol
symbol : class ServletException
location: class HelloWorld
throws ServletException, IOException {
^
6 errors

and if I am right the classpath is directly pointing to the servlet-api.jar

$TOMCAT_HOME/lib/servlet-api.jar:$TOMCAT_HOME/lib/jsp-api.jar:$TOMCAT_HOME/lib

[masijade]

Do not use the CLASSPATH environment variable, use the -cp option, and, also, TOMCAT_HOME is liable to be defined only within the running instance of Tomcat making the path used on the provided path "/lib/servlet-api.jar" which, obviously, is not correct.
