Set the class for the jar file: Set the classpath of the servlet-api.jar file in the variable CLASSPATH inside the environment variable by using the following steps.
For Windows XP,
Go to Start->Control Panel->System->Advanced->Environment Variables->New button and Set the values as
Variable Name: CLASSPATH
Variable Value: C:\Program Files\Java\Tomcat 6.0\lib\servlet-api.jar

Create a java source file and a web.xml file in a directory structure.
