/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun

/usr/lib/j2sdk1.4-ibm
/usr/lib/j2sdk1.6-sun
/usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun
/usr/lib/j2sdk1.4-sun
Shouldn't it find these classes in the /usr/lib/jdk directory ?

Adam,
I'm still a neophyte and I'm not certain formally about any of this, but
in my installations (I have several), javax.servlet* are found in my
Eclipse plugins directory. I am avoiding upgrading to Ganymede for now,
so maybe this stuff goes elsewhere? Anyway, here's where mine are on
Windows and, a quick look tells me that on SuSE Linux I find them there too:
C:\tutorial>dir /s javax.*

I now have Windofkeltia's tutorial working on Ganymede with
apache-tomcat-6.0.16, the version I have in
my /home/cuco directory. Russ, I think you should update your tutorial to
say that you need to associate your project with a server runtime in the
beginning
when you're first setting or your project in eclipse. That screenshot
doesn't have any selected, that seemed to be what was causing the problem
with finding javax.servlet.
Larry, your quote below brings me to one point I've been a bit confused
about for awhile:
javax.servlet is part of Java EE, so won't be part of Java SE, i.e. won't
be part of your JRE or JDK. Java EE classes like this are supplied by the
Java EE application server or servlet container (such as Tomcat). Thus,
they will come from the Server Runtime Environment (a.k.a. Target Runtime)
specified by Window -> Preferences -> Server -> Runtime Environments. One
of the runtimes defined there would be associated with your WTP based
project to provide the javax.servlet classes.
My apache-tomcat-6.0.16/lib has a servlet-api.jar, which I assume is what
you're referring to.
But I downloaded from Sun what they call the 'Java EE 5 SDK with JDK 6u6'.
I thought that had all the javax.servlet definitions in it.
But if I say 'locate javax.servlet' at a terminal prompt, all I get is
this:
/home/cuco/eclipse/plugins/javax.servlet_2.4.0.v200806031604 .jar
/home/cuco/eclipse/plugins/javax.servlet.jsp_2.0.0.v20080603 1607.jar
which is kind of surprising. But if I say 'locate servlet-api', the only
things that come up are in tomcat installations. I guess this makes sense
since
tomcat is a servlet container and you can't launch any servlets without an
application sever.
I guess I was under the impression that all that stuff would also
be in the EE 5 SDK too. The mistaken assumptions of a noob!
Thanks for your help.

I haven't used the Java EE downloads from Sun in quite a while, but if I
recall correctly, the Java EE classes tended to come in one *big* jar
containing "everything", "j2ee.jar" perhaps. It leads to lots of
"interesting" problems when someone uses the "Why not, what could go
wrong?" approach to webapp building and mistakenly tosses that monster
jar into their "WEB-INF/lib"!

The plug-ins you cite above are primarily for internal use by Eclipse at
runtime. If you were building a new plug-in that needed javax.servlet
classes, you would likely make your plug-in depend on them, like other
plug-ins have done.
One of the internal uses is for the servlet container which the help
system uses. This server used to be a version of Tomcat, which is why
you would also see a ".../eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.tomcat_4.1.???"
folder in Eclipse 3.2.x and earlier. This folder is still there in
Eclipse 3.3, but the help server was replaced by Jetty.
In WTP 2.0.x and later, the J2EE Preview server runtime (under the Basic
category) creates a runtime from this internal version of Jetty. In
doing so, it will in fact use the jars you cite above as part of the
server runtime. But for other server runtimes, those classes must come
from jars supplied by the server installation.
Cheers,
Larry

No because they aren't part of the JDK.
They will be in servlet.jar which is shipped with J2EE/JEE
runtime servers like Tomcat, Glassfish/SJSAS, JBoss, OC4J etc.
If you have the Eclipse bundle for JEE developers, you should
be able to go into Window->Preferences->Server->Installed Runtimes
and add the appropriate server runtime for your J2EE/JEE server.
Then in your project properties, you can add that runtime as a
library to your build path.
Now if I could only figure out how to make it see the source for
javax.servlet.* so I could see Javadoc in the content assist for
those packages I would be a happy man -- or at least less grumpy.

For Tomcat, see:
