ServletException cannot be resolved to a type

Question

Error in java file i am getting as ServletException cannot be resolved to a type

Multiple markers at this line - HttpServletRequest cannot be resolved to a type - HttpServletResponse cannot be resolved to a type

Please le me know if any jar is missing

public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp)
        throws ServletException, IOException {
            doPost(req,resp);
    }

I guess you are not created a web project. If so , servlet.jar is missing. — Suresh Atta, Jan 09 '14 at 08:40

welcome to SOF. You need to `import` them before use them! or you need to add their `jar` into your build path before `import` — Rugal, Jan 09 '14 at 08:40

You lack the servlet-api jar provided by your targeted servlet container (for example tomcat)

see How do I import the javax.servlet API in my Eclipse project?

and

Where do I get servlet-api.jar from?

You should add the folowing imports to your servlet:

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest

And add the following jar into your classpath:

Add jsp-api.jar and servlet-api.jar to your build path.
