Hi, I've never worked with JSP and MySQL. One of the things that I did was search CG for an answer and I found this link. (http://www.dev-archive.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=267028&highlight=getting+started) I downloaded TomCat and stuff(it came with my servlet package that I downloaded from sun, its official name is jwsdp-1_3-windows-i586). And after doing all of the installations, I typed up this simple code, hoping that it would work...

// jsp_test.java: this is a simple JSP example that will print something on the web browser

import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;

public class jsp_test extends HttpServlet
{
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException
{
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
out.println("Hello World");
}
}

... however, I still managed to get the below errors...

C:\Program Files\Xinox Software\JCreator LE\MyProjects\jsp_test\jsp_test.java:4: package javax.servlet does not exist

... any help is appreciated in order to get me out of the mess that I'm in right now. Thanks in advance.
