I am using Jboss 7.

I added a servlet to my project.

I have added the servlet-api.jar in my library

I have added dependency for servlet-api.jar in my pom.xml as 

<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
    <artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
    <version>${version}</version>
</dependency>

However, I still get error

package javax.servlet.annotation does not exist when i do a maven -> install

You are missing javax. in your dependency at <artifactId>. And do remember if you want to use annotation, your servlet version should be >3.0. Here is dependency for servlet 3.1.

   <dependency>
        <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
        <artifactId>javax.servlet-api</artifactId>
        <version>3.1.0</version>
   </dependency>

  • I don't see version 3.1.0 here: https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/javax.servlet/servlet-api in fact, 2.5 is the latest stable... – Thufir Jun 10 '19 at 05:12
  • As mentioned on link you provided the artifact is moved to https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/javax.servlet/javax.servlet-api – Naman Jul 22 '19 at 12:38
