Hi ranchers,
I tried to import a class(e.g. test.class)from JSP and put it in ..\WEB-INF\classes file. However, it got a complilation error:
"org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP
An error occurred at line: -1 in the jsp file: null
Generated servlet error:
[javac] Since fork is true, ignoring compiler setting.
[javac] Compiling 1 source file
[javac] Since fork is true, ignoring compiler setting.
[javac] C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\work\Standalone\localhost\test\clientsearch_jsp.java:8: '.' expected
[javac] import test;
^
.........."
and my page directive is:
<%@ page import="test" %>
I compiled it fine in tomcat 4.0 but failed in 4.1. Can anyone tell me what happened?
Many thanks!

Hi
It looks like the Jasper JSP compiler is objecting to a class that is not contained in a package.
It is always recommended that you create classes in a package hierarchy. Have you tried putting you Test.class in a package ?

There is a Bug?? Feature?? with JSP's, JSP's cannot fine classes that are not in a package! Change your class to have a package such as test so the fully qualified name of the class is test.test and inport this.

Many thanks!
