Error in eclipse, servlets

Question

Here's some error im getting on Eclipse

    import javax.servlet.RequestDispatcher;
    import javax.servlet.ServletConfig;
    import javax.servlet.ServletException;
    import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
    import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
    import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;

    public class HelloServlet extends HttpServlet 

It says HttpServlet cannot be resolved to a type , pls help

Solution 1

check project build path whether Servlets api jar file is included or not. you can add it in two ways:

1) add servlets api .jar file to build path
or
2) add server runtime (i add Tomcat server runtime library) in build path

Hope this helps.

Solution 2

You need to add the runtime libraries from your application server.

For example:

Go to project properties. Click Build Path, then the libraries tab. Click add library, then select Server Runtime. Select your server and click OK.

can you please tell me why you do this? What is the logic behind this, as I have set the classpath in enviroment variables for servlet-api.jar and jsp-api.jar why it not works?
