And the result was... what?

The compiler errors can be interpreted in only one way: the 
servlet-api is _not_ in your classlath. Hence there can be only one 
cause of the problem: you are not adding them correctly.
Thsi is clearly a shell issue.

I see three issues here: for one I don't know what that leading ; is 
about. If it's not a problem, it is definitively not necessary. 
Secondly, I am not sure if you can use forward slashes in the 
classpath on Windose machines. And either way, you are missing a : as 
in E: at the beginning.
