i am trying to learn java bean . i wanted to know how i have to compile and where. i m little bit confused.weather i need BDK?.PLEASE ANY BODY HELP ME

hi,

plz visit the site http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.html and there u can download the latest or the version you prefer. Install it in your pc and set the path to the related bin folder where java.exe exist.
If u r working win2000 go to mycomputer--properties--environment variables and set a new variable named PATH and give the value for exc:/j2sdk1.4.1_01/bin).
Now go to the command prompt ,then to the particular dir where, the java file resides and compile the java source code using javac filename.java.

regards,

techkar

org.apache.jasper.JasperException:classname.class when i used java bean with my jsp page.
