The import javax.servlet cannot be resolved

[Dick Hildreth <di...@gmail.com>]

Tomcat 9.0.53
Windows Server 2019 Standard version 1809
OpenJDK  jdk-11.0.8.10-hotspot

I have a JSP/JavaBean webapp.  I deployed all of the class files into the
webapp's classes subdirectory (no WAR file) and the external JAR files are
in the webapp's lib directory.  Of course, the JSPs are in the
webapp's context root.

I try running the webapp from localhost:8080/[appname]/LoginPage.jsp and I
get the subject error with the stacktrace pointing at my JavaBean line:

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest

I've tried copying *servlet-api.jar* from the tomcat lib directory into my
webapp\lib directory and I've tried putting *javaee-api-8.0.jar* into my
webapp\lib directory and neither helped.

Any insights would be appreciated.

Never do that.

Nor that.

Create the simplest possible web application that re-creates this issue 
(single JSP and single bean). If creating that doesn't help you figure 
out what is wrong, put the source somewhere where we can access it (e.g. 
Github) and we can take a look.
