java - Where's javax.servlet?

Question

I have jdk1.6.0_13 installed, but when I try to find a javax.servlet package, or press Ctrl+Space in Eclipse after Servlet I cannot get anything. Where can I download this package, and why isn't it included in standard distribution for developers?

Answer 1

javax.servlet is a package that's part of Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition). You've got the JDK for Java SE (Java Standard Edition).

You could use the Java EE SDK for example.

Alternatively simple servlet containers such as Apache Tomcat also come with this API (look for servlet-api.jar).
