error: package javax.servlet does not exist

I was trying to implement a login filter in my web app with jsf 2, following this guide:

https://stackoverflow.com/tags/servlet-filters/info

after I compiled my filter and added the .class in "web-inf/classes" (as the guide says) the filter worked, but i put the wrong url to redirect to the login page so i deleted the filter.class from the folder (web-inf/classes) and tried to compile the project again , but it failed, and since then im getting "package javax.servlet does not exist"

it is weird because before it was working and i have javax.servlet in my pom.xml.. i tried cleaning the project, but nothing.

this is my filter class:

package Bean;

import java.io.IOException;

import javax.servlet.Filter;
import javax.servlet.FilterChain;
import javax.servlet.FilterConfig;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.ServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.ServletResponse;
import javax.servlet.annotation.WebFilter;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpSession;

@WebFilter("/Contenido/*")
public class filtro implements Filter {

    @Override
    public void init(FilterConfig config) throws ServletException {
        // If you have any <init-param> in web.xml, then you could get them
        // here by config.getInitParameter("name") and assign it as field.
    }

    @Override
    public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response,
            FilterChain chain) throws ServletException, IOException {
        HttpServletRequest req = (HttpServletRequest) request;
        LoginBean user = (LoginBean) req.getSession().getAttribute("user");

        if (user != null && user.isLoggedIn()) {
            // User is logged in, so just continue request.
            chain.doFilter(request, response);
        } else {
            // User is not logged in, so redirect to index.
            HttpServletResponse res = (HttpServletResponse) response;
            res.sendRedirect(req.getContextPath() + "/Contenido/Login.xhtml");
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void destroy() {
        // If you have assigned any expensive resources as field of
        // this Filter class, then you could clean/close them here.
    }
}

this is the error:

Solution 1:

The javax.servlet dependency is missing in your pom.xml. Add the following to the dependencies-Node:

<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
    <artifactId>javax.servlet-api</artifactId>
    <version>3.0.1</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

Solution 2:

I only put this code in my pom.xml and I executed the command maven install.

<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
    <artifactId>javax.servlet-api</artifactId>
    <version>3.0.1</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

error: package javax.servlet does not exist
