Description tomche 2008-12-04 09:37:11 UTC 
Hello,
in your code for developing web apps tutorial the netbeans website http://www.netbeans.org/kb/docs/web/tutorial-
webapps.html provides code for the midnight cookies example that can be copied and pasted. After copying it precisely 
from your web page to the ide the following error is generated

 Compiling 1 source file to C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache Tomcat 6.0.18
\webapps\ROOT\midnight\build\web\WEB-INF\classes
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache Tomcat 6.0.18\webapps\ROOT\midnight\WEB-
INF\classes\com\midnightcookies\FrontController.java:59: addCookie(javax.servlet.http.Cookie) in 
javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse cannot be applied to (com.midnightcookies.Cookie)
                 response.addCookie(cookie);

There is no information on this type of error on the internet and typically the error presumes a degree of knowledge 
unsuitable for a learner.

Can you help

Thanks

Tomche

Jeff, has this tutorial been replaced with this one? 
http://netbeans.org/kb/docs/web/quickstart-webapps.html

This tutorial has been retired and I have no idea why it would have happened in EE 5 on earlier NB versions anyway. No one else has reported this problem.
