package javax.servlet does not exist import javax.servlet.* ;
Hi Guys
The servlet jars cannot be found. I checked the tomcat lib dir and it was
present and it looks like its something to do with the classpath. How can I
change/update it so that it will work ? Im on a windows

Two different problems. Running tomcat is different from compiling a java servlet application.
It is not recommended to set a systemwide classpath, period.

Like Charles pointed out in his reply, use ANT or IDE.
I've used batch and bash scripts also, something like
javac -cp .:/path-to-tomcat/lib/servlet-api.jar:/path-to-additional-jars $1
where $1 is commandline parameter which would be the source file

Before what?

Which is why people normally use ant scripts (or IDEs) to build their products with.

It worked, but how comes I have to use classpath now and not when I used to
do it before ? is there any way of overcoming this ? Typing up CPs' in
command line takes too much time.

For javac, use the -cp parameter; for any IDE, you'll have to consult its documentation.

if you're compiling from the console-window:
javac -help
take a look at "-classpath"
if you're using an ide, check out your ide's documentation

Thanks - Im using the exe version and replaced the tomcat6 and tomcat6w
versions with the 64 bit ones. I tried it with another app of mine that
works but it wouldnt compile that one either.

How do I do that ?

Did you install Tomcat from the .exe download or the .zip one? You will need the 64-bit versions of tomcat6.exe and tomcat6w.exe if you want to run Tomcat as a service. I would recommend running it from the command line using the startup.bat and shutdown.bat scripts (from the .zip downloads) until you get the bugs worked out. After that, get the 64-bit versions here:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/tomcat/connectors/trunk/procrun/bin/amd64/
Rename them, changing the 5 to 6.

Do the servlet and JSP examples that come with Tomcat work? If so, and it's just your webapp that's failing with the package does not exist error, then something is odd with your webapp.
It just struck me: this is a compilation message, not a run-time one. You'll need to tell javac (or whatever IDE you're using) where the servlet-api.jar is.

1. Im using 6.0.18 64 bit with windows xp 64 and Java SDK SE 6 update 11
(64bit).
2. I did do it just afew moments ago to see if it would work at which it
didnt so I removed it.
3. The servlet-api jar is in the tomcat lib dir and not in app lib dir
4. Didnt find the j2ee jar in the tomcat folder.

1) Tell us which version of Tomcat, what JVM/JRE you're using, and what specific OS, including 32- or 64-bit.
2) NEVER, never, never set the CLASSPATH environment variable for Tomcat.
3) Make sure you do not have a copy of servlet-api.jar anywhere in Tomcat's classloader hierarchy, other than Tomcat's lib directory. (Many inexperienced users erroneously put that jar in a webapps's WEB-INF/lib directory.)
4) Make sure j2ee.jar is not anywhere Tomcat or the JVM might stumble into it.
