Okay...a bit irritated....
Trying to build the Chap4App from Practical Web Objects in eclipse, which - for some reason - EVERYONE says is da bomb.....I haven't even used xcode enough to understand why eclipse is SOOO great....but being the good little indian I am, I've decided to give it go.

I can build all the other apps from Practical WO just fine, and I've already worked thru several class path issues with chap 4 successfully, but I keep getting this error:
"The import com.apress.practicalwo.appserver cannot be resolved" in Application.java" Of course this leads to "PWOApplication cannot be resolved or is an invalid super class" error.
Adding this to my classpath doesn't help. The PWExampleApp is include as a Project, if I try to create a src folder in the Chap4App project it says "It already exist" in...of course...PWExampleApp....so....
If Eclipse know so much about this class - the project its in - the src directory its in -- etc....why the heck can't it use it to build Chap4App????
I suspect that you have somehow messed up the classpath while working through the other classpath issues you had in that chapter. The jar file from PWOExampleApps needs to be in the libraries. Check that it is. The projects etc are just for build ordering and ensuring that prerequisites are built first. The Libraries are all that matters for compiling. I also found this aspect of Eclipse confusing at first.
