Issue
I have created a java servlet named TestingServlet and get error when I try to compile file. I have set the classpath for servlet-api.jar and also tried including classpath when compiling:
javac -cp "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 10.0\lib\servlet-api.jar" TestingServlet.java
Code is :
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class TestingServlet extends HttpServlet {
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException {
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
out.println("<HTML>");
out.println("<HEAD>");
out.println("<TITLE>Servlet Testing</TITLE>");
out.println("</HEAD>");
out.println("<BODY>");
out.println("Welcome to the Servlet Testing Center");
out.println("</BODY>");
out.println("</HTML>");
}
}
Error is:
TestingServlet.java:6: error: cannot find symbol
public class TestingServlet extends HttpServlet {
^
symbol: class HttpServlet
TestingServlet.java:8: error: cannot find symbol
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,
^

Solution
Tomcat 10 Servlet API uses the new jakarta namespace, so the package names changed, as explained in the Tomcat 10 page:
Users of Tomcat 10 onwards should be aware that, as a result of the move from Java EE to Jakarta EE as part of the transfer of Java EE to the Eclipse Foundation, the primary package for all implemented APIs has changed from
javax.*tojakarta.*.
So in your case
import jakarta.servlet.*
import jakarta.servlet.http.*
