Build path error
Hello everyone,
When I try and do the following import:
import javax.servlet.ServletExcep
I got this error:
The project was not built since its build path is incomplete. Cannot find the class file for javax.servlet.ServletExcep
Servlet.jar is on my build path, anyone know whats going on. Ive been trying to fix this all day!
Thanks

That is the wrong name. Which version of Servlet API are you using ? Which container ?
Try using servlet-api.jar or for older API use servlet.jar

Make sure that you add the Servlet.jar to your classpath.

Yes because I have tomcat on my build path which is and servlet.jar is on the build path of tomcat.

Because something is on the build path of another project does not mean it will be in your buildpath
And we are talking classpath right?
And have you read rrz@'s comment?

Sorry rrz@871311, never spotted your comment, I scrolled too far!.
Im sure the servlet.jar is the correct version because when i add servlet.jar (from tomcat) to my web app directly my class then compiles fine. This is of no use to me athough because I need to be able to reference servlet.jar from tomcat. But since tomcat is on the build path of my web app should'nt servlet.jar be picked up?
Many thanks
>But since tomcat is on the build path of my web app should'nt servlet.jar be picked up?
I agree with Tim's comment. (I think he said no)
You have to add the jar's path . For example if you are using Tomcat 6
then add <yourTomcatHome>/lib/servl
I don't use eclipse so I can't tell how exactly.

As mentioned, add the servlet-api.jar to the 'Libraries tab' under your project -> Properties -> Java Build Path
(Click on add external jars for the same)
(Click on add external jars for the same)
When did anybody mention Properties -> Java Build Path before I did? And I guess your comment mentioned Servlet.jar. The servlet-api.jar was mentioned by rrz.
mayank, I was referring to 'your' comment itself - just added the info about the 'Librarires' tab - in case the author tries adding it elsewhere :)
Sorry.
Are you sure?
