Simple CLASSPATH problem for compilation of servlets in JWS2.0

[Sami]

I have installed Java Web Server on win98.
In order to compile any servlet, one has to set classpath as c:\JavaWebserver2.0\lib\servlet.jar

If I set this variable in my autoexec.bat,like set CLASSPATH = c:\JavaWebServer2.0\lib\servlet.jar;%CLASSPATH%
now If I try to compile the applet
javac HelloWorld.java
compiler gives me error - javax.servlet.*; &
javax.servlet.http.*; not found
but if on commmand line I type
javac -classpath c:\JavaWebServer2.0\lib\servlet.jar HelloWorld.java
then servlet will compile corectly and can be executed on server any idea
what is wrong in setting classpath in autoexec.bat file
Thanx in Advance

Do you have the spaces around the = in your autoexec.bat as well as here?
Get rid of them, you're defining an environment variable called
CLASSPATH<space> instead of CLASSPATH. And if you want to know what
environment variables are set, just type "SET" at the command line.

Paul, Thanx alot, you were right . I removed those space and now I am able
to compile servlets, but now I am not able to execute even simple java programs,
so in short to say, my javac tool is workign fine but cannot do
java test1 . or whatever...so not able to run anything,,,any comments
