after i created a java web application in netbeans i encounter class like

javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest.

I cant find this class in the usual SE API documentation online.

is there another API documentation for web application classes in java?

    Pointer for future cases: every time you see package name that starts with javax, you can be at least 90% sure it's not in JavaSE. Commented Jan 10, 2010 at 18:12

    That's not true at all. There is Swing, Security, XML, Multimedia, Cryptography, Management and many others in the SE API. Commented Jan 10, 2010 at 21:31

check out the java EE javadoc here: http://java.sun.com/javaee/5/docs/api/

To elaborate, HttpServletRequest and other similar classes are part of the Java Enterprise Edition platform, so you will not find them documented in the Standard Edition (SE) Javadoc API.

but where is the EE 6 API javadoc?
See the servlet-api.jar, included with e.g. Tomcat

See the Java EE 6 SDK and Java EE 6 Web Profile SDK Docs & Resources page and, more specifically:

Developer Resources

The third link is what you're looking for.

PS: No offense but I think that you should spend some time browsing the Sun website and learn to find information by yourself. It's not that hard to find things there and it's offering very interesting resources.
