javax.servlet in tomcat plugin [message #177687]

I would appreciate if someone could give me an explanation about a problem
that I have when I use org.eclipse.tomcat in my code.

I have created a class that extends javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet

In my code, I have an error when I call getServletContext(). The error says
that GenericServlet is not accessible due to restriction on required library
org.eclipse.tomcat/servlet.jar

I understand that this is beacause servlet.jar is not in the export packages
of org.eclipse.tomcat, but I don't understand why.

Does someone know why the Tomcat plugin does not let you manipulate the
javax.servlet package ?

I am in Eclipse 3.2 and the tomcat plugin version is 4.1.130.v20060601

Thanks a lot

Nicolas

The org.eclipse.tomcat plug-in isn't the "Tomcat plug-in" as it relates
to WTP. It is the internal server (Tomcat 4.1.30) that Eclipse uses for
its "help" system. The Tomcat plug-ins are actually
org.eclipse.jst.server.tomcat.core and org.eclipse.jst.server.tomcat.ui.
The Dynamic Web Project supported by WTP can be associated with a Target
Runtime (for Tomcat and other servers) that gives you access to the
javax.servlet classes.

Cheers,
Larry
