I'm probably just being very dense (I'm relatively new to Java and UNIX), but does anyone know how to get the javax.servlet.* classes installed on OS X? Whenever I use javac to compile some really basic servlet code, it complains that it can't find everything having to do with javax.servlet.

I was poking around my hard drive trying to figure out where there JAVA_HOME type directory with all the classes is kept to see if it was actually there or not, but I had no luck finding it. So if anyone could shed some light as to where the home directory for all of the java stuff is I'd appreciate that info as well.

Thanks.

it is just a set of classes available for download from Sun. It used to be called JSDK but now called JSWDK to avoid confusion with the Java2 SDK. It is also closely related with the Apache Jakarta-Tomcat project. Check out http://jakarta.apache.org/ http://java.sun.com/products/ http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/index.html http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/download.html

Thanks for the download info. Again, I know this is pretty basic stuff, but could someone offer some help as to where I should put the javax.servlet stuff I downloaded from Sun so that the javac compiler will recognize it? I've found a JavaVM.framework folder that seems to have the default java classes somewhere inside of it, but dragging the servlet.jar file into that doesn't seem to get it recognized. Do I have to update my classpath or something of the sort?

If you look at the files in that folder, somewhere it tells you what the DEFAULT_CLASSPATH variable is. However, you may have to log out or restart to get it to recognize the class file. One place that you can put things is in ~/Library/Java/ -- if it doesn't exist, just create it. At least -- I think that is where. I'm in OS9 now, so can't check....
