Classpath problem

[FH...@aol.com]

Hello.  I am using Tomcat 6.0.18, my Java version is 1.6.0_11 and I  have a 
servlet called TestingServlet.java.  My classpath reads like  this:
 
.;C:\Sun\SDK\bin; C:\Sun\SDK\jdk\bin; C:\Tomcat\lib\servlet-api.jar
 
I cannot compile in DOS without typing:
 
javac -classpath C:\Tomcat\lib\servlet-api.jar TestingServlet.java
 
I cannot understand why I am being required to specify the servlet api when  
I have it in my classpath.  I have looked through the manual and Googled  for 
an answer to this problem without success.  Can anyone help me  out?  Thanks.

I guess that is because spaces are not allowed in the value.

Try:
set CLASSPATH=.;C:\Sun\SDK\bin;C:\Sun\SDK\jdk\bin;C:\Tomcat\lib\servlet-api.jar

or better
set CLASSPATH=.;C:\Tomcat\lib\servlet-api.jar

I do not know why you are adding those bin folders to the classpath.
There are no class files there.
