I'm trying this on cmd:

javac -classpath .;C:\Users\Myname\Documents\Tomcat_Apache\apache-tomcat-8.0.20\lib\servlet-api.jar ;C:\Users\Myname\Documents\Tomcat_Apache\apache-tomcat-8.0.20\webapps\mybay\WEB-INF\lib\jsp-api.jar

I'm getting this :

javac: invalid flag: C:\Users\Myname\Documents\Tomcat_Apache\apache-tomcat-8.0.20\webapps\mybay\WEB-INF\lib\jsp-api.jar

Usage: javac 'options' 'source files'

I need this in order to use extends HttpServlet in java. Can you help?

Remove space after servlet-api.jar – jaroslawj Apr 06 '15 at 10:53
If i remove this space something else occures: javac: no source file – Νίκος Διαμαντόγιαννης Apr 06 '15 at 10:54
And it's right javac expects file(s) to compile, what you provide it with classpath are already compiled files (jars)... So you should add in the end your source file, this extending HttpServlet... – jaroslawj Apr 06 '15 at 10:56

I don't understand.Where should I add my source file? – Νίκος Διαμαντόγιαννης Apr 06 '15 at 11:02
Remove the space after servlet-api.jar, and specify the source (the ".java" file) you want to compile. – Elliott Frisch Apr 06 '15 at 11:17
I tried this but i'm getting the same error that i get when i try to compile my file.java in JCreator. error: cannot find symbol (extends HttpServlet) – Νίκος Διαμαντόγιαννης Apr 06 '15 at 11:23
