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?

+1  A: 

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.

darren
but where is the EE 6 API javadoc?

See the servlet-api.jar, included with e.g. Tomcat

A: 

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.
