Hi, managed to fix this on my own. In Eclipse there is a setting in Windows | Preferences... under Java | Compiler indicating the compiler compliance level, mine was set to 1.4 and is now changed to 5.0 - this seems to have resolved the problem with the "@Persist".
I then right mouse on the project's "build.xml" and run this. The output from my build creates further errors: Buildfile: *C:\TapestryTutorial\directlink\build.xml compile*: [*mkdir*] Created dir: C:\TapestryTutorial\directlink\target\classes [*javac*] Compiling 1 source file to C:\TapestryTutorial\directlink\target\classes [*javac*] * C:\TapestryTutorial\directlink\src\java\tutorials\directlink\pages\Home.java *:8: illegal character: \64 [*javac*] @Persist [*javac*] ^ [*javac*] * C:\TapestryTutorial\directlink\src\java\tutorials\directlink\pages\Home.java *:9: <identifier> expected [*javac*] public abstract int getCounter(); [*javac*] ^ [*javac*] 2 errors BUILD FAILED It looks as though my ant build isn't picking up the annotations. (I haven't used annotations before so I'm not sure what to do apart from check the compiler compliance for the build....how do I do that?) Anybody....hhheeeellllllppppp...
