javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest cannot be resolved.

Hello,

I am wondering where is server-api.jar for jboss?

I got this compile-time error in Eclipse (with jboss 6 AS).

Thanks

Sam

Sounds like you need some tools that will help you locate classes:

Hi Sam,

it sounds as if you are programming a plain "Java project" in Eclipse. Why not using plugins like "JBoss Tools" (http://www.jboss.org/tools) or at least the "Web Tools Platform" plugin (http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/)? They both provide project types especially crafted for work with JavaEE applications (including servlets), and for those project types the JAR files bundled with the application server will automatically be added to the classpath.

Best regards

Wolfgang
