Question

I am learning maven these days. During making Web application it shows error.

When I add servlets in the source location and add these changes in the web.xml. It shows package missing errors.

My imports in code are :-

1. import java.io.*;
2. import javax.servlet.*;
3. import javax.servlet.http.*;

When I write mvn compile in command prompt in windows. It shows errors.

Errors are as follows:-

1. package javax.servlet does not exists.
2. package javax.servlet.http doeas not exist.
3. Some errors related to above two.

Help me.Looking for your kind response.

You probably just have to add the dependency to your web.xml.

check here maybe: http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/javax.servlet/servlet-api

<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
    <artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
    <version>2.5</version>
</dependency>
