build error in eclipse(helios) for dynamic web project

I have a simple dynamic web project in eclipse(helios). In this I have one jsp which ask for uname and password and it goes to a servlet开发者_Python百科 which will just print the uname. I am using Ant to build the war and deploy.

I have done below settings for path:

1. ANT_HOME = C:\apache-ant-1.7.0
2. JAVA_HOME = C:\java\jdk1.6
3. classpath = .;%JAVA_HOME%\lib;%ANT_HOME%\lib
4. path = %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%Path%;%ANT_HOME%\bin

tomcat is installed at c:\tomcat

I have following files in WEB-INF\lib

jstl-1.1.2.jar, jstl.jar, servlet-api.jar, standard-1.0.6.jar

Now, when I am trying to do the ant build it gives me compilation errors, errors are as below: package javax.servlet.http does not exist, package javax.servlet.http does not exist, package javax.servlet.http does not exist and so on

can anyone help me with the problem ? Is problem with the classpath or it is not able to find the jar ?

Thanks

Ant doesn't know anything about web projects. It doesn't automatically include the jars in WEB-INF/lib in the classpath. You have to explicitely include all the required jars in the classpath used by the javac task to compile your classes.

Note that at least servlet-api.jar should not be in WEB-INF/lib, since it's obviously in tomcat's root classpath.
