Java Servlet and JSP Implementation Classes =========================================== This subproject contains the source code for the implementation classes of the Java Servlet and JSP APIs (packages javax.servlet). In order to build these sources successfully, you must do the following: * Download and install the Java API for XML Parsing implementation (current version number is 1.0) from . Make sure that the "jaxp.jar" and "parser.jar" files are on your class path. * Download and install the JAKARTA-ANT distribution. If you have downloaded the source distribution, you must create the executable version by executing the following commands: cd jakarta-ant ./bootstrap.sh <-- Unix bootstrap <-- Windows This should result in the creation of a file "ant.jar" in the "lib" subdirectory, which will be used when building the Servlet API distribution. * Download and install the JAKARTA-SERVLETAPI source code, or check it out from the CVS repository, into a directory parallel to the jakarta-ant directory created above. That is, if you downloaded both subprojects into a directory named $JAKARTA_HOME, you would see the following two entries: jakarta-ant/ jakarta-servletapi/ underneath it. * Build the servlet API distribution (a "servlet.jar" file containing the classes and a ZIP file containing the API documentation) as follows: cd jakarta-servletapi ./build.sh dist <-- Unix build dist <-- Windows This should result in the creation of a new "dist" directory at the same level as "jakarta-ant" and "jakarta-servletapi", with a "servletapi" directory underneath it. In this distribution directory, you will find: docs/api/ Directory containing the Javadoc API documentation for the servlet/JSP API classes lib/servlet.jar Binary servlet classes suitable for use when compiling servlets (or a servlet container) src/ Directory containing the source code for the servlet/JSP API classes
