Hi,
I am trying to build a JSP page which uses a Java Class to set and get values. I am running default root application.I have put the JSP file (ShowCustName.jsp) under ROOT and the Java class(CustomerName.class) under ROOT\WEB-INF\classes. But when I call the page it gives me following error.Normal jsp which doesnot call any Java class works fine.

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

An error occurred at line: 7 in the jsp file: /ShowCustName.jsp
Generated servlet error:
CustomerName cannot be resolved or is not a type

Show Customer Name

<body>
<% CustomerName custname = new CustomerName();
custname.setFirstName("Nitin");
custname.setLastName("Kumar"); %>

First Name :<%= custname.getFirstName() %>
Last Name : <%= custname.getLastName() %>
</body>
</html>
--- CustomerName.java --
public class CustomerName {
private String firstName;
private String lastName;

public String getFirstName(){
return firstName;
}

public void setFirstName(String firstName){
this.firstName=firstName;
}

public String getLastName(){
return lastName;
}

public void setLastName(String lastName){
this.lastName=lastName;
}
}

I have tried setting the CLASSPATH to WEB-INF\classes but in vain.
Can any body help me out?

Import your "Customer" class in the JSP and ensure the package structure is correct

I think you need to put your java class in a package and import it in your jsp file. Most probably the generated servlet will be of put in some package so it cannot access the java class which is in default package..
