Did you set CLASSPATH to jsp-api.jar and servlet-api.jar?

Re: servlets - javax.servlets does not exist
 

yes I set environmental variables to point to tomcat jar files but should they point to the jsp-api.jar in tomcat jdk or netbeans - sorry very confused / Thanks for your patience !!

tomcat, nothing to do with netbeans
