Hi sandeep,

We set classpath for informing the class loader where exactly all the supporting files which u have imported are available for compiling an executing it. In case of JDK, all the basic files are available in a single path which is a default one and so u don't need to set it.

if u have to set the classpath for servlets

in case of java webserver-:

set CLASSPATH=.;:\\lib\servlet.jar

in case of jsdk-:

set CLASSPATH=.;:\\lib\jsdk.jar

drive and directory is the place where u have loaded u r software

bye
