I'm trying to use shift+F2 to look up HttpServletResponse class, and
Eclipse sends me the error message, saying that some jar file is not found.
All my jar files are in place. As a proof - the servlets are successfully
built.
shift+F2 works for all Java SE classes, but not for J2EE ones.
It looks like Eclipse can't find the URL to go to .

Please help!

Thanks in advance,
Anna

For me, the error indicates that Javadoc has not been configured and
names the jar that needs configuring. Javadoc configuration for Java EE
APIs isn't as simple as it is for Java SE and may not be automated.

You don't name which vendor's runtime you are trying to use, but in case
it's Tomcat, see:

Hi Larry!

Thank you very much for your reply.

I'm using GlassFish v2 Java EE 5.
Is there anything specific for this server?
Would you please include as much details as possible, I'm a novice, it's
my very first web project.

Thank you very much,
Anna

I know almost nothing about the GlassFish server support. The process
described for Tomcat may be applicable for GlassFish, but I don't know
where to tell you to find servlet API Javadoc in a GlassFish install.
You could also ask on a GlassFish support forum and see if you can get a
response from someone more knowledgeable.

Cheers,
Larry
