jsp and java class unhappiness (newbie question)

[tiewknvc9]

Hi!

I know java well, however I am new at making java integrate with JSP.

What I have done, is created a class file (test.class) in a package
called testThis.

the test object contains an empty constructor, and is used to access
utility funcitons in the class file.

So testThis.test would lead me directly to the test object.

in my jsp application (running on tomcat), I have
<% @page import="java.io.*, testThis.*" %>
as my import statement.

my class is currently located in the classpath, AND in the
Tomcat\apache-tomcat-5.5.17\shared\classes folder AND in the
WEB-INF\classes folder. I just dont know what I am doing wrong...

thanks in advance!

When I try to run the page I get the following page exception...


org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP

An error occurred at line: 6 in the jsp file: /purchase/fileupload.jsp
Generated servlet error:
test cannot be resolved to a type

#1 you dont need to import java.io, you just use <%
out.println("text"); %>
#2 do you have the .CLASS and .java file located at:
\WEB-INF\classes\testThis\
#3 did you alter your server.xml file at all?
