I've read all the other messages that include "cannot resolve symbol", but no luck. I've got a small app - 3 classes all in the same package. BlackjackDAO and Player compile OK, but BlackjackServlet throws the "cannot resolve symbol" (please see pertinent code below)...
I've tried lots: ant and javac compiling, upgrading my version of tomcat, upgrading my version of jdk/jre, making sure my servlet.jar is being seen by the compiler (at least as far as I can see from the -verbose feedback)...any help would be GREAT! Thanks in advance...
classes: BlackjackServlet, BlackjackDAO, Player
package: myblackjackpackage
tomcat version: 4.1.1.8
jdk version: j2sdk 1.4.0
ant version: 1.4.1
I get the same error message from Ant and Javac...
