Teamcity - package javax.servlet does not exist

Question

How do I import javax.servlet in Teamcity? I have the below error message when I try to build the java project through teamcity IntelliJ IDEA runner.

Should I copy servlet-api.jar to the teamcity server and specify the path to the servlet-api.jar under Teamcity -> Build Configuration -> General Settings -> Artifact paths OR Teamcity -> Build Configuration -> Build Step: testStep -> Artifacts to Build?

This is my first time with teamcity and I'm using this https://github.com/marekbruchaty/SimpleJavaWebApp project. I have a CentOS server which has teamcity and gitlab.

From my desktop, using IntelliJ IDEA I can import servlet.api to do a successful build. But the teamcity is in another location and managed remotely and I wonder how to import the servlet-api into teamcity?

Here is the build error:

Answer 1

Figured it out.

I had to paste the path to servlet-api.jar into Build Step -> Project SDKs -> JDK Jar files patters.
