my first servlet

[sireesha]

Hi everyone,
i just installed tomcat5.5 in my system.i wrote my first servlet program(.java) like below...

Code:

import javax.servlet.*;
import java.io.*;
public class servlet1 extends GenericServlet
{
  public void service(Servletrequest req,ServletResponse res)
  {
    PrintWriter pw=res.getWriter();
    pw.println("Hi,this is my first servlet program.");
  } 
}

But when i am trying to compiling this file, i am getting errors like below..

Code:

E:\WINDOWS\servlets>javac servlet1.java
servlet1.java:1: package javax.servlet does not exist
import javax.servlet.*;
^
servlet1.java:3: cannot resolve symbol
symbol  : class GenericServlet
location: class servlet1
public class servlet1 extends GenericServlet
                              ^
servlet1.java:5: cannot resolve symbol
symbol  : class Servletrequest
location: class servlet1
  public void service(Servletrequest req,ServletResponse res)
                      ^
servlet1.java:5: cannot resolve symbol
symbol  : class ServletResponse
location: class servlet1
  public void service(Servletrequest req,ServletResponse res)
                                         ^
4 errors

what's wrong with my code...is there any problem with my classpath ?what i have to give for classpath? is it necessary to change any other system variables ?
All other programs which doesn't involve the concept of servlets were compiled fine in my system.
This is the first time i am working with servlets..so i am getting so many doubts..please help me..

Thankq so much.

Have you try to do it using HttpServlet? Because you can easily throws exceptions and go on.
