Hi,
I have a servlet and and trying to instantiate a class in the servlet.
I'm using the following code:
engine e = new engine();
The engine class compiles without error but when i compile the servlet
i get 2 errors from this line cannot find symbol. Anyone know what the
problem might be?
Thanks

Did you import the correct package? Is the class accessible to the
servlet?

try this:

Search.model.engine e = new Search.model.engine();

and make sure Search.model.engine class is there in runtime CLASSPATH.
hope it helps.

This is a compile time, not a runtime error, right?

Engine e = new Engine(); ?

Just a guess, since you didn't post the error message.
